To Julie and Corey

[julezdisney]

I have the podcast on pause right now- as ya'll are talking about Baby Ferris (did I spell that right?) and I just want to say that Ferris is SOO BLESSED to have received such amazing and wonderful parents.

Whenever I hear about these things, I offer praise up to Heaven for making a perfect match. I truly believe that children are matched to their parents and that it then is up to the parents to do right by their children and I couldn't imagine more big-hearted, happy, loving parents for your baby than the two of you.

May God bless you all in continued health, happiness, and love.

Perfectly stated... you are all so lucky to have each other. Your attitude is amazing... God Bless you!!

I couldn't agree more, I paused it too and called my husband immediately. I am a special education teacher and have been BLESSED by all of my students with Down syndrome over the years. Ferris is truly blessed to have such wonderful parents who are doing everything to help him be the best he can be. The sky is the limit for Ferris with parents who believe in him. I have watched students with Down syndrome succeed in so many aspects of life, from graduation, prom queen, swimming accross the English Channel, the list goes on and on. I know it will be difficult at times for sure but I am confident that you are strong enough to endure and Ferris is so lucky to have the two of you!

I absolutely agree with EVERYTHING the previous posters have said. And I also wanted to affirm something that you already know: none of this changes the fact that you have a BEAUTIFUL baby. Seriously, your pictures speak for themselves. I'm so happy that you three have each other.

 

[crazydisneyman]

Both of you are wornderful parents, and I can't wait for Ginny to meet him!

I want to Echo the above. Its amazing how god gives us challenges in life that he knows we can handle. Not only is Ferris blessed with he wonderful parents, I think Corey and Julie will see how wonderful it is to have such a special child in their lives!

 

[GabbyMom]

I want to echo everything everyone has said already. Ferris is Blessed to have you as parents, and you are blessed to have him.

Give Ferris an extra hug for me.

i think the OP is right- i think kids are matched to parents- and God only gives us what he knows we can handle. Obviously he knows the great love and support you will provide little Ferris, and the love he will provide you.

So happy to hear he is in good health and just growing like a weed! A close friend of ours is a very successful and happy 40yo young woman with Downs and has lived life fuller than most of us!

and i must say, your strength truly shows in how you quickly educated yourselves given that this was a surprise.

I cannot wait to meet you guys and little Ferris. I know firsthand what little miracles all children are and the sky is truly the limit as another poster said.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Yes. Yes. Yes. To everything.

I think Ferris is a very lucky little boy to have parents like you. I have a favorite quote from Mother Teresa (not Teresa Echols) "God only give us as much as we can handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much."

Ditto to what the previous posters have said.

Ferris is blessed to have you both as his parents.

Ditto what previous posters have said, I was on the elliptical at the gym today while I was listening and was almost in tears, you are such a perfect match (or trio).

Ferris is blessed to have such wonderful parents.

Corey and I knew there would be a great outpouring of love and support for Ferris, as well as for us. Thanks to all of you who have posted for your kind words.

We know that we are truly blessed to have such a perfect little angel in our family. As I watch him sleep I am overcome with all the joy and love I have because of him. We are so happy to be his parents and both of us are absolutely smitten with our beautiful baby boy!

There have been so many changes since he was born! Ferris laughs, smiles, coos and loves to watch our faces. He loves to be sung to and his Dad and Grandma make these adorable bird noises that catch his attention no matter what else is going on. He is such a hard worker and I revel in each and every little milestone!

Thanks again for the love and support!

Julie, I have tears in my eyes as I read this. Not tears of sadness, but tears from the pure love that comes through in your post.
You and Corey are the perfect parents for your precious little Ferris. He is very blessed to have you as parents, just as you are blessed to have little Ferris.

Julie, Corey and Ferris,

Hugs to you! Ferris is blessed to have parents like you. I'm happy to hear that he's healthy. Enjoy celebrating all of his milestones. God bless.

I know what I say will just be a repetition of what everyone else has said, Ferris is truly blessed to have such great parents.

I work with children, and adults, with Down's Syndrome, and they are lovely, warm, loving and kind people, even those who have had to have heart ops at a very early age have this amazing spark to them, even though they have been through so much. I work especially with one little girl who is just so adorable and is just such a sweetheart, I know her parents wouldn't have her any other way. Even through the rough times (she has had some real issues toilet training, but its getting closer and closer!) she can't help but make me smile! All children come with their own challenges, but they also come with their own brilliant quirks and loveable qualities!

All you seem to be doing for Ferris is going to be so beneficial to his future. I wish you all the best and future happiness with you beautiful baby boy, and keep us posted! I would love to know what you guys are up to, and how he's progressing.

My oldest brother was born with severe mental disabilities, so children with special needs have always held a special place in my family's hearts! When times were tough, my dad always said that God choose our family for Danny because He knew we were strong enough to handle it and had all of the love to give.

These children are beyond precious, and fortunately, there are so many resources available today to help them and the parents. It sounds like you both are already getting involved in local groups and are getting lots of love and support. Through our involvement with local organizations and getting to know other families, we have seen first hand children with Down's grow up, finish school, get jobs, have relationships, and lead full, independent lives!

My best wishes to you both and to little Ferris! God truly gave him the best parents possible!!
