Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...

DAWSON & ISAAC for the Rhodes family — VA

Marty and Mandy Rhodes met in high school and have been married for 11 years. They have two beautiful children. Eli is 8 years old and Julianna is 5 years old. Mandy is privileged to be a stay at home Mom, who homeschools the kids. Marty works as a Correction’s Officer. After serving his country in the US Navy for five years, he and the rest of the family are glad to be settled back at home in Virginia. The most important thing Marty and Mandy are teaching their children is that Jesus loves them and came to make all the sad things come untrue. When the couple learned about the sad things that were happening to the very special orphans of Eastern Europe, they knew that as the hands and feet of Jesus, here on earth, they had to help make this sad thing come untrue. Their family is excited to take this journey and watch as God does the miraculous in adding a very special little boy to their family. Dawson will be so loved and cherished just the way God intended when he created him.
