  • Miguel is diagnosed with Down syndrome, pituitary dwarfism, and is also legally blind. His family did not know what to expect when adopting Miguel, but committed to providing him anything he would ever need. Now an adult, Miguel has exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic professionals.
