This blog started out as an adoption profile to let others get to know us. We have now adopted the sweetest little guy. His name is Max. He was born with Down Syndrome, and we think he's perfect! This blog is now about our journey forward with him. We have another blog (link here) that details the more crazy everyday happenings in our household. Feel free to check it out as well. I update it more frequently. Someday, I may combine the two blogs. For now, this is for Max, his birthparents, and anyone else who wishes to follow our miracle :)

Buddy Walk

Although we are unsure that we will actually get to 'walk' in this year's Buddy Walk - Sept 26th, since it's fairly close to Max's surgery date, we still want to be a part of it. So we've registered our team "To the Max". If you'd like to make a donation to raise money for the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation, please use the link at the right of this page, or click here.
If you'd like to walk with (or on behalf of) us, you can join our team at http://www.firstgiving.com/maxanderson.
The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to promote acceptance and awareness of people with Down syndrome.We encourage people with Down syndrome to invite "buddies," everyone from family and friends to teachers, celebrities, and legislators, to join them on the Buddy Walk.
Each participation helps promote the importance of understanding, awareness, and acceptance. Whether you have Down syndrome, know someone who does, or just want to show your support, come and join us as a buddy at one of the UDSF Buddy Walks!
Thanks for your support!
