What We Love About Each Other
Chris’ disability offers our family a unique perspective that we know will naturally shape how we raise a child. Values like accepting others who may look differently, creative problem-solving, and independence will come naturally. We hope these values will allow a child to approach life with resilience and empathy. Interacting with our nieces and nephew has shown us how quickly kids learn these values without it being a big discussion. Chris’ disability also does not limit his ability to parent. We’ve safely adapted our space to support his involvement - from a modified stroller attachment for his wheelchair, to a crib with a side-opening door, to a changing table designed for both safety and comfort. Every detail reflects our commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for our family.
