TLC show

STILL no word on when (or if) our show is going to air on TLC. Eve, one of the other moms on the show, has been working hard trying to find out, but the TLC people simply have no answers for her, except to say that it IS going to air... eventually. Anyway, about a week ago she found a clip online, but we couldn't get it to play. Then today it finally worked. Unfortunately I can't get it to embed here, but I can link you to it. Watch the clip here. It drives me crazy that it says Kennedy "suffers" from Down syndrome. WE all know that's not true!! Anyway, enjoy, and hopefully someday there will be an actual air date where you can see it on TV! LOL

oh,Renee...I balled my eyes out watching this. Absoultly amazing the journey you have all been on. Thank you for letting me be a part of watching Kennedy grow from the day you found out you were pregnant for her and for many years to come.

You didn't warn people that we needed a tissue. It is a very touching story. I'm glad that you felt the need to share your story with everyone. Your family is so amazing.

Rene, I was crying so much when you started to tear up. I can't wait to watch your show. I looks like it is going to be great. Thank you for doing this!! You continue to be an inspiration to other families like mine.

also, does Frank by any chance have a brother my age? I gotta find a guy who gets ds, so that I can adopt one day (I only have four more years before I am eligible age wise so I gotta start saving my money!)

Thanks for sharing, I also teared up. We too feel blessed that we have a daughter with DS, she too has changed our lives for the better. Our family is so lucky, yes we have had ups and downs but mainly blessings. Take care, praying that Kellsey is home with you all soon.

Oh my gosh I am balling! Kennedy is absolutely gorgeous! She is an amazing little girl and she is so lucky to have such a loving and caring family to take care of her. God Bless You and I can't wait to see the actual show when it airs!

Josette said...

Wow...beautiful. I'm new to reading your blog, so I had no idea all the health issues Kennedy has had. What a testimony that is, that with all that you've been through, you're thankful to have her in your lives, AND want to adopt a daughter with Down syndrome. Shared your video clip on facebook, hoping even more that might not see the show will get the message. I told them to get out the tissue! God bless your precious family.

Jen said...

Me too! I teared up! Renee, you and you family are so beautiful! I am so lucky to "know" you! I can't wait to see the rest of the show and see Kellsey home with you guys. I am just so excited for the changes in your life and so happy call you my friend! :)

I don't know if anyone could what this without crying. Thank you for sharing Kennedy, what a beautiful Angel she is. Can't wait to read about her interaction with her sister Kellsey.
