He could not speak legibly until he was probably five years old. He could write and he mumbled but unless you knew what he was trying to say, you couldn't understand him.
My daughter was told he would probably be mentally retarded. Boy were they wrong. Adam has had letters from the best colleges and universities in the country, as well as military academies. He's been accepted into a special three week program at one of the most pretigious engineering schools this summer. It's costing Grandpa and Grandma $2000 but we consider it money well spent.
We are grateful to God for this gift.
And your post just brought tears to my eyes, too. I love success stories. :-)
