Mom Adopts Three Children With Down Syndrome And What Happens Next Is Damn Surprising

There are hundreds of reasons to say no to adopting a baby with Down Syndrome, but there's one good reason which felt true to adopt them. At the end of the day, there's a baby who needs parents and as parents, we're in search of a baby," says Heather Avis.

Everyone feels pity and sympathy for the ones who're suffering, but there's hardly anyone out there who would get their hands dirty to clean someone else. This is life, and this is us in the 'so-called'  21st century.

We're living in a world where everyone believes that there's need to change, we need to change. But, at the end of the day, we're all spending our lives selfishly to fulfill our desires, our needs. In this hustling of times, when someone stops for a moment and helps improving someone else's life, it becomes a great story, a story like the one I'm about to tell you.

I know only the one's with a good heart will read it till the end.

Meet Heather Avis and her cute little angels.

These children are the faces who call her 'mum'. For Heather, being a mother is not just a label, but a sense of responsibility, a sense of motherly love, a way of giving back to nature.

When Heather Avis started her journey into parenthood, little did, she knew that it'd look like this. After all, who plans to have adopted children? Every woman dreams of giving birth to a new life. But, then again let me remind you, this is not an ordinary story.

She never planned her motherhood this way.

She had never imagined that her children would have a Down syndrome. Calling it the God's way of doing things, Avris says, "we stepped into the craziness and confusion of the unknown and unplanned, we quickly realized that we were indeed among the lucky few."

Talking about her experience of dealing with infertility...

When she decided to start a family with her husband almost ten years ago, she was surprised to find out that getting pregnant isn't as easy as it may seem. Both of them faced the ups, and down of infertility and in the end they were left with no other option than adoption.

And then they thought, Of course, we would adopt! Not what we had originally planned, but certainly a fantastic choice.

Just when the couple had make up their mind to grow their family through adoption, God introduced them to Macyn Hope, a cute little but sick girl who was suffering from Down syndrome. She desperately needed the family.

Macyn was the first addition to their family.

But, God had some other plans for them in the store. First Macyn, then Truly and then August. The couple found themselves moving ahead to comfortable paths. They were now far away from scary and other painful roads. They were now, a lucky few.

However, there were times when God's way seemed terrifying and sometimes foolish.

But in the end, we're all scared at some point in time of our life, the same happened with the couple. They were unaware of the fact that how much goodness, blessing, and joy is coming their way. These three kids in short time have taught us love, and hope.

For all those of you who think it was easy, let me tell you it was not.

It has not been easy, not the open-heart surgeries, challenges, Down syndrome, or dealing with such complexities and struggles which we faced with the public education system.

In the end, only those who never give up, would win this battle called, life.

"Through it all, every new and uncomfortable situation has only proven to be another chance to see how very good God's plan is for our lives and how downright lucky we are to be able to live it out," says the Lucky Few.

In the end, I'd say...

It's only the lucky few that appreciate the most wonderful things in this world are often found in the differences. What some would perceive as a setback, I've learned to see as nothing more than pure luck.

The mother of three has shared her beautiful and inspiring story in her book titled, 'The Lucky Few'.

"A page turner. A hope giver. A life changer. Lucky are those who read these pages-their hearts will explode with the joy that we all truly get to be the luckiest of all." – Ann Voskamp, says the author of the New York Times bestsellers, 'The Broken Way' and 'One Thousand Gifts'.

That's all, folks!
