Hi everyone! My name is Marianne. I'm the homeschooling mama of three biological sons (9, almost 8, almost 6) and one recently adopted daughter with DS (2 1/2) from Ukraine.

Our daughter brings us so much joy! Our dear friends have a son with DS and it opened our eyes to the wonderful world of DS. We adopted Darya through Reece's Rainbow and I would do it again in a heartbeat (if we were able to).

I look forward to this forum!
