It seems the story of a Sacramento couple adopting Sofia, a child with Down's Syndrome from Eastern Europe, has opened the eyes and hearts of many.
Corryn and Ellieza are no exception. They followed the journey to bring Sofia home via the family's blog with their mom, a music therapist who works with special needs children.
The girls were beside themselves with excitement when they finally had a chance to meet Sofia in person along with other Down's Syndrome children. They brought Sofia carefully selected gifts, played with her and checked often to make sure she was OK.
Says their mom Bessie, "This has opened their eyes more to children with special needs and also to orphans and their needs as well."

LOVE it! Thank you for sharing. It was a VERY special day for sure when all three girls were united for a playdate. SO fun!
