Thankful for gatherings
Over the weekend we had two different chances to meet up with kids who were born just right. On Saturday, one of our friends who we met through this website happened to be at the same football game as we were. Jordan and her friend had SO much fun being goofy and running on the steep hill as the grown ups tried to watch the game. I love how the connection we made from this site brought us together… and strangely enough, also helped us meet some neighbors of ours who live a couple of blocks away. I’m so thankful this site made it possible for us to meet. The girls are two sparks of fire together. It is awesome to watch them together. We met up earlier this Fall and it’s stunning how it feels like our families should have always known each other.
The very next day I took the kids to St. Louis to meet up with three other limb difference families. Their kids are all wonderful. Their parents are fabulous. It’s just incredible how our children have given us an opportunity to know each other. I love the chance to see so many people in person. I love that I group groups like Sammy’s Friends to help make sure we can connect to each other.
That’s why I’d like to offer an opportunity to bring readers of Born Just Right together. I have had parents from across the country and around the world look for ways to connect to other parents in their area. I would love to help you connect. If you’re willing to share an email address and your location, I’ll try to connect you to other people who fill out this form who are from your area. I’ll leave this form open and send out emails that help you all connect with other families in your state or region. I promise not to sell your contact information – I’ll just use it to connect you to new people. I feel like it’s one little thing I can do to help more families make the amazing connections I’ve been able to do for the last almost six years since Jordan arrived in our world.

Did you know we’re holding a fundraiser for Jordan’s birthday? Read more about it here or check out her birthday fundraiser page. Thanks so much for considering a donation for the No Limits Limb Loss Foundation so two kids can attend Camp No Limits.
