Amanda, I think I found you on FB nearly a year ago and I’ve been following Chance’s story since then. I cried when I read this. Happy tears. :} Happy birthday to your son!

You have a Beautiful Family! Chance is a precious little guy! Glad his first Birthday was Great! And your photos are great too! So happy for all of you!

You, and Chance, are already great inspiration to many people; I think what you are planning will hopefully challenge many people to dig down a little deeper for more inner strength to not just endure, but to live life to the fullest! Good Luck! I know you will reach your goal!
Hi Amanda,
you are very insprational and I would love to support you if there is a way for me to do so. You and your family are in my thoughts a lot, especially now that I am pregnant again myself.
Kisses for little Chance and hi to your family.

This past week I got to meet Francesco & Heidi’s brand new little girl, Autumn. She was born only about a week before Christmas and I met her at just five days old. Adorable. Precious. Danty…and yes, perfect. I adored every moment spending time with this little peanut…I think you all will agree she’s beautiful....
