Stephanie's heart changed as the Lord called her and her husband, David, to adopt eight children. Their first is a typical son, the seven others have Down Syndrome. Six of those children are adopted many years ago from the Ukraine.
The heart of the Barnett family is on full display as they tell their story of how God has walked them into a life of challenges filled with joy in "Special Needs, Special Glory".
I describe it as organized chaos. - Stephanie
The world sees children with down syndrome. They are worthy, they have a purpose. - Stephanie
Not all children with special needs are the same. - David
Mackie, one of their children had congestive heart failure that without surgery would take her life in 3 years. Dr. Cooper Schmit was hesitant to do the surgery because the chances of success were less than 35%, but they went ahead.
"They (the doctors) said that they have never felt the presence of the Lord that strong as when they did that surgery." - Stephanie
I could literally fill the Lord’s hands guiding me. - Dr. Cooper Schmit
If people do question their purpose, the children's purpose in the world. Start working with some special needs ministries anywhere. That's their calling. God created them to glorify Him. - David
"'As he (Jesus) went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?' 'Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, 'but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.'" John 9:1-3
