A couple has opened their hearts and home to five children with Down syndrome. One by one, the woman recalls the events that led to her and her husband adopting each of the five boys. Watch the video to hear about how this woman truly has a heart for those born with disabilities.

Every child needs and deserves a happy and loving home where they feel safe and secure. Sadly, there are a lot of children who do not have a caring, supportive home environment. Some are abused and neglected, which can and often does leave their physical and emotional scars.

It's because some children are in situations where abuse and neglect are the norm that foster care and adoption are so important and necessary. Children can get a chance, an opportunity to find the loving, caring and supportive home they so greatly deserve. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a woman and her husband who have provided that for five young men with Down syndrome, as they have adopted them into their family.

In the video, the woman reveals doctors told her something about her unborn baby that would have made a lot of people sad and depressed. Instead, this mom-to-be was over the moon.

“But while I was pregnant with Cody, I was told he had Down syndrome,” she said. “Like, I was super excited, like, overjoyed. And then we went and got the sonogram, and they said, ‘Oh, he doesn’t have Down syndrome’ and stuff like that. So, that’s where it kind of started.”

Later, while on the internet, her family came across Joey, a child up for adoption who has Down syndrome.

“And I thought, ‘Well, what the heck?’ Because I’ve always wanted to adopt a child with Down syndrome,” she said.

After Joey officially became part of their family, Tracee, Anthony, Cameron and Julian soon followed, becoming members of this loving family.

“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, they’re so blessed to have you,’” she said. “But I think we’re the ones that are blessed because they teach so much compassion, and people are like, ‘blah, blah, blah.’ 
But it’s true, they do. They don’t judge people, you know? Like, we have a house full of love.”

Later in the clip, the woman reveals that her love for people with disabilities started when she was younger.

“You met Marybeth. Well, she’s sleeping,” the woman said. “So, I grew up with Marybeth. My mom had a group home with six ladies. So, that’s where my love started. So, I have a love for people with disabilities and elderly people. I love to listen to their stories.”
The woman also mentions that her family will be sent mean and nasty messages through social media. But by responding to each hateful message with love and kindness, she has been able to change hearts and minds.

As the end of the clip states, this unbelievable story is part of a movie called “Made with Love.”

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all that you do be done in love.”
