What I am doing for Down Syndrome day 2011

I am creating this blog to help families bring their new kids home. I have no idea whether I will ever get any traffic, or whether this blog is doomed to fail, but its worth a shot, and I am excited to have found my own special way to celebrate this special day. I am a college student, too young for adoption myself, and well... too much of a college student to donate as much money as I would like to. I donate when I can, but I seem to have more time than money, and I hope this is a way for me to donate some of that time.
