“I was an orphan in Ukraine. I wanted a mom, I wanted a dad, I wanted pets, I wanted brothers, I want a school, I want friends, I want neighbors, and guess what? They came and helped me.” This is a clip from our short documentary that follows Sofia on a trip to visit orphans with Down syndrome living in Armenia. You can watch it now on YouTube, link in our bio. There are more incredible children like Sofia that deserve a loving family. If you want to learn more about adopting these amazing children, please comment ‘Armenia’ and RODS Heroes will be in touch with you.

Dear Mom, You are enough. Your child is enough. Live in the present moment as much as possible. Embrace your journey, this road less traveled. It’s a scenic one full of incredible highs and difficult lows. But it’s a road rich in colorful complicated experiences, that most never get to experience or travel on 🤍 – @thesanchezsix #dearmom #dearmomconference #downsyndrome #downsyndromemom #downsyndromeawareness #downsyndromelove #downsyndromerocks #nothingdownaboutit #theluckyfew #downrightperfect #downsyndromeadvocate #thisisdownsyndrome #downsyndromediagnosis #dearmomletters #dearmomco #dearmamas #momlife #dearmomletter #dearmamaletter #dearmamaletters #specialneedsmom #specialneedsmoms #specialneedsmama #downsyndromemom #advocatelikeamother #specialneedsparents #specialneedsparenting #specialneedsparent #dearmomcommunity

Thank you @weallbelongutah for inviting me to gorgeous UTAH and to be your key note speaker at your 4th annual inclusion rally. I’m so grateful for the chance to talk about how inclusion in school gave me the skills and confidence to do amazing things in my life. I love you UTAH…I met the kindest new friends and I enjoyed every single moment. What a beautiful evening we had! 😘 #inclusion #weallbelong
