Well this is my first attempt at writing one of these so everyone needs to bear with me ok.
My 7 year old son has been granted a wish trip to Disney World Aug. 2 - 8 2011. His wish has been granted by the Make A Wish foundation on Utah. Truely I have never meet nicer people in my whole life.
A little background info about my son. He was a twin born at 24 weeks to a mother who was addicted to meth and cocaine and so it was a fight from the moment he was born. I was the lucky person selected to be his and his brothers foster mom and I have never looked back. His brother passed away at 8 1/2 months of a genetic disorder called PCH which they both carried. It was very sad to lose him but we kept moving forward never sure how long we would have our little guy. Soon after his brothers death we were told that his mother had given up her parental rights and we would be aloud to adopt him. We were so happy and quickly decided his name would be changed to Reese since his given name was Kan-ye and that really didn't fit our family or our red headed very pale skinned boy
The years flew by quickly and many challenges came our way but we faced each one head on and as a family.
He has a spent much time in the hospital and in the process ended up with a trach, a feeding tube, confined to a wheelchair and on many medicines but I wouldn't change a moment of my life. He is such a happy boy and has changed my opinion of the world so much.
I have other children that are my birth children and they are all coming on our trip also (paying thier own way) and so we are so excited. We are going to be staying at Give Kids The World and I have heard so many good things about it. I am open to any suggestions that other wish trippers might think would be helpful. I will try to update as our planning moves ahead I guess I should tell you who is going so in the future you all know who I am talking about.
Reese 7 years old and our wish kid Mike is my husband I am Carla and our other children are LeGrand 25 years old brother, Amber 23 years old sister, Nicholette 19 year old sister and travel partner for Reese also Logan (Nicholette's boyfriend) will be joining us.

We went on a MAW trip to Disney last year, and it was AMAZING. I really can't say enough great things about GKTW and all they do to make the trip so special. It's just magical. Please check out the wish trip thread here ...
