I was 16 and pregnant (many years ago) and my son was positive for Down syndrome. The Dr wanted me to have an abortion and I REFUSED to do that. My mom and I talked about how we were so blessed to have a baby no matter how he was going to come. My whole pregnancy at only 16 years old I was expecting a baby with Down syndrome. September 16,2005 my son was born without Down syndrome. Well, my point, these babies are a blessing to this world. I remember being in middle school and seeing these special beautiful children and I always felt some type of connection with them. I’m an optician and when we see patients with Down syndrome, those are my favorite patients. They’re so loving, smart, sweet. You name it! They are beautiful.
My friends from church were told their daughter had Down's Syndrome during pregnancy and the doctors very heavily kept on telling them to abort the child. They said she would never be able to walk, talk, sit or do anything, she would just be a vegetable. They didn't listen to the doctors and little Po was born with a number of complications and was in hospital for the longest time that year, but she eventually was healthy enough to go home. She was just the cutest when we finally met her. This girl can walk, talk, sit and do everything all her big brothers and sister can do too. She is such a beautiful and sweet blessing. These doctors will advise you to kill your baby because of a disability they think they see, which the child might or might not actually have, but either way, if pregnant women kept aborting their children, they would never get the chance to know the joy of their children.
@@planetI911why immediately jump to the assumption that nakita is insinuating the doctors lied? Dr.'s aren't Google, they CAN be wrong. Tests aren't always accurate.
@@planetI911probably, I have heard many many times that parents were told their child would have Downs Syndrome and give them their options. (Which only consists of encouraging the parents to abort) Then after the baby is born the Dr.s tell the parents the child does NOT have DS, like he didn't cause them months of worry and panic, fear of their unsure and unknown future. Ruining the experience of a families joy and excitement about the pregnancy. Sometimes, I think these tests should not be done before birth.
God bless Laura and her family. May God forever bless Percy for saving Kai's life. I pray that the people of Africa will save these beautiful children and stop thinking they're cursed. No child is cursed . I pray for everyone watching this video. May the love of Jesus Christ find each and every one of you and I pray you all find peace and strength this holiday season.
This had me in tears. My third is autistic and at age almost 11 has very little verbal skills and I felt like we lost her for years which covered me in grief. She fecal smeared for three years every day and one day I was cleaning her up in the bath with poop all over her and wrapped her in a towel and kissed her. After that hug, the Holy Spirit said to me “this is how much I love you, covered in filth and sin”. I burst out in tears and my relationship with both her and God changed. He changed my heart and attitude towards her. She is a gift and has multiple movies memorized and loves art. I have never felt so much joy at the smallest of milestones. The first time she said “mom” I cried. Thank you for the work you do.😊
She is THRIVING! Given her history I honestly wasn’t expecting her to be walking & talking. I am in awe. She’s a walking, talking, party planning miracle!
How can anyone watch this without crying! My brother, now age 64, has Down Syndrome and, thank God, my parents rejected the recommendations that he be put in an institution and forgotten about. Since my parents rejected that and kept him home and my mother even started a pre-school for developmentally disabled children, he has been a complete blessing. He is not nearly as high-functioning as Kai, we love him no less. What a great story and one that I will keep with me forever.
Oh, my, how this story touched my heart! I know Laura and her family and I can truly say that they are one of the most loving families I have ever known. I have a new understanding and love in my heart for these children with special needs because of them, I am blessed to be able to sponsor several children served by Nurturing Nations. Thank you, Laura!
What a kind and beautiful soul Kai is ❤ Thank you for adopting her into your family ❤ I’m so glad that you rescued her from what could have been a such cruel and unfair fate.
I was a special needs elementary school teacher and these are the most LOVING children on earth. Every morning we started our day with hugs, they love hugs. You are doing special work for these special children, you will be Blessed
What a pure, amazing human you've filmed in Kai. Her mom, dad and brother Brittan are pretty awesome, too. I just love how the ones you feature know no limits. If everyone watching could emulate a fraction of these special individuals' spirit, the world would be a better place. Thanks, Made With Love, for another special story.
Such an incredible story! I hope this woman's story goes worldwide with the message of love and joy that she so eloquently speaks regarding children with Down Syndrome. It makes me sick to think that women are still being told to abort these precious babies, or to put them in an institution. Then to learn that in Africa they are called cursed, that is so hard to hear. Thank you for sharing the beautiful story of Kai's adoption and the love and joy she has brought to her adoptive family.
can't watch anymore, due to this angel has been saved, and I THANKYOU!!!!!. She has downs, she's the most loving caring forgiving being as AS DOWNS ARE....the country is not to be blamed for their ignorance but EDUCATED. WE NEED TO LEARN FROM THE GENETIC CHROMOSOME EXTRA....because they are EXTRA SPECIAL....they love unconditionally!
This stores had me in tears and made me miss my client Danny. He had Down syndrome and would watch me cook while he sang. I took some days off and promised him I would bring him back 2 cupcakes for his birthday and had passed the day before I came back. People don’t know the joy and amazement and love people with Down syndrome bring. It’s been over a decade and I think of him often
I find myself teary, joy-filled, and amazed as I take in this incredible story. Thank you for sharing this adoption journey, and I pray this video changes lives and celebrates those with Down syndrome.
Oh! Amen amen amen Sister! I have a son with autism and I feel like you do- when someone tells me they have a child who has been diagnosed with autism I feel so happy for them!
Yes! I'm autistic and my mother has told me many times that she loves me exactly as I am and wouldn't want me any different. She was 37 when she had me so they wanted to do tests to see if i would be born with downs syndrome, implying so she could abort and my mom was offended at the idea. She told them she would love me all the same disabilities or not, and that she did ❤
I worked with down syndrome people from the time I was in 7th grade. It was the most joyful time in my life, before I had my children. You will never know a purer love in a human being.
This is the only kind of adoption I understand. Thank you for seeing her as a blessing. My son is special needs from birth and he is the light of my life. I thank God for sending me this beautiful child.
Awww. I raised 5 children on my own. And thank God my parents stuck by my side. And now they are getting older and sick. But. I relate. Thank you for sharing. I feel like we will always be family. ❤
@ thank you for sharing these important stories with us!! To imagine that these type of superstitions and mistreatments are still existing had me shocked. It makes me angry and sad at the same time.
I am blessed by watching this video and seeing your beautiful family. Love has no bounds, God is not finished with any of us until we leave this earth and enter His presence.
It's just old ideas to explain genetic things. Not everywhere in the world is up to speed on modern medicine that is why access to education is so important globally. So they can keep traditions but move on from practices like this.
This is a result of not knowing about God and his son Jesus,it is primitive tribal customs and ignorance.In Africa they worship ancestors and pagan spirits,witchcraft,etc.people are very superstitious and afraid.😮
I am genuinely impressed by your work and am delighted to discover your hardwork and passion to help children. I extend my heartfelt wishes for your continued success and growth.
Watching this is emotional and beautiful at the same time. What a blessing that God has used you to tell the world how amazing kids with Down Syndrome are.
God bless you dear, you were created for this amazing assignment. God shines on you and your beautiful family. It also proves that we are all special people when given a fair chance at life to better ourselves. Miracles from heaven will always surround you with blessings of love.😊🙏🙏💖🌹💕
God bless this mother for caring and loving and understanding the value and importance of kids with no only Down syndrome but with different cultures amen 🙏 ❤
Wow! She is a special person with a large heart open to love everyone. She see and love with her heart. Blessing to you. I pray for Yahweh-to bless whatever your hands touch, wherever there may be lack I declare increase in the name of God.
I come from part of the world where kids with down syndrome considered as a curse and keep them away from the society and normal life. This video makes me realize that in my part of the world we lacks the unconditional love for kids. God bless this family ❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful message of hope and love. God blessed Brittan and Kai with parents He knew would love and protect them with everything you two have. You and your husband have hearts of gold. Kai is so energetic and beautiful inside and out. May God continue to keep your family His loving peace. In Jesus Name ❤
This is what life and humanity is about. I strive to make even a fraction of this amount of change that vibrates throughout the ethers. Creaing a better world and true support.😊
This woman is the definition of a mother.
❤❤❤

BEAUTIFUL, God bless you.
She's a wonderful person/ mother❤. Adopting Kai was a blessing . She brings so much joy to Brittain.
Where did these ideas originate? Lord it hurts my heart. Thank you for the love and care.❤❤
These ideas originated from Satan himself.
These ideas come about when a community is deeply oppressed.
It's just old ideas to explain genetic things. Not everywhere in the world is up to speed on modern medicine that is why access to education is so important globally. So they can keep traditions but move on from practices like this.
This is a result of not knowing about God and his son Jesus,it is primitive tribal customs and ignorance.In Africa they worship ancestors and pagan spirits,witchcraft,etc.people are very superstitious and afraid.😮
I am genuinely impressed by your work and am delighted to discover your hardwork and passion to help children. I extend my heartfelt wishes for your continued success and growth.
