One year ago this week Rosie had her corrective heart surgery. It changed our lives in so many ways but the most significant change for me was the removal of the label, "special needs child". Nothing about Rosie was ever special needs. Yes, she had a heart condition and yes, we adopted her through the waiting child/special needs program but to us she was always just our daughter and I couldn't wait to get rid of that horrid little "tag". You can read about that day here
Now our little Qi Qi keeps up with the best of them and will never encounter another trip to the cardiologists office ever again. She doesn't wake up dripping in sweat and doesn't pant like a dog if she runs after her sister. Her future is bright and is it just waiting for her to conquer it.
To see the rules for 3WS go and visit Pug Mama and her beautiful family.

Have a great Sunday...
Such a hopeful post. And what a cutie she is too.
Just wonderful!
It definitely is!! Even with Maddy's condition which will never go away completely, the words "special needs" never really enters our world.. except for the word SPECIAL !
AMEN!!!!
Love this post!!!
I hope you inspire many more to consider the SN route. Rosie looks amazing in that cute suit, by the way!
