They come in many shapes and sizes. Lately, my hero is a tiny 6 year old girl who has been living in a non-cooperative body her entire life, but has never let that fact dampen her spirit. A girl who only took her first steps months ago. A girl who recently left all that she has ever known in a country far away to start a new life in America with her forever family. A girl who continues to amaze her family and others with her strength and determination. Our girl.
I had the pleasure of sharing {K’s} story on the well known China adoption advocacy website No Hands But Ours. You can read her story here. Arthrogryposis is so much more than a scary word. If we had not seen the child past the medical diagnosis, we would have missed having this hero living in our midst.
