Greetings from Walla Walla. We had the privilege of hosting you here two years ago for the weekend mission you put on. I\u2019m writing you this evening to bring to your attention a post on my daughter Amy\u2019s blog<\/a>. Amy has a 3 year-old son, Matthew, who has Down Syndrome and she chronicles his life and the joys and trials of raising Matthew. What she\u2019s posted here regards another mom\u2019s efforts to raise funds to rescue children with Down\u2019s from hellish institutions all over the world. It\u2019s an expensive process as so many of these countries see these children as an exploitable commodity and charge very high fees. In a way, it\u2019s a blessing that these babies are at least brought to birth. Here in \u201cadvanced\u201d America, if it\u2019s suspected that a preborn infant might have Down Syndrome, that child has a 95% chance of being killed within a month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Wonderful work of mercy! And not surprising that your daughter would be involved in helping forward the mission since you guys are such wonderful parents! I have fond memories of my visit to Walla Walla (and still cherish the magnificent gift of the Acme Catalog <\/a>(\u201cQuality is our #1 Dream!). Blessings on you and your fambly and on this remarkable friend of your daughter\u2019s who is doing heroic work!<\/p>\n
