I’ve always known I wanted kids. I was an only child and ALWAYS wanted a sibling, so I swore, I’d have lots of kids. Fast forward a few years and reality sets in. My reality is that 2 kids are MORE than I can handle.
My husband and I both have albinism. We have a girl, 7 and boy, 3. They both have albinism too. Before you ask, yes, we did that on purpose. We were 99% sure our kids would have the condition and we were 110% ok with that.
This parenting gig can be challenging, I have the unique advantage of understanding my kids visual condition, but I’m still rarely sure that I’m doing the right thing. Alas, I think that comes with the job description regardless of whether your child is normally pigmented or not.
I cherish the relationships I’ve created within NOAH. I’ve learned so much from so many different people. I hope by posting on this blog, I can share some of that knowledge with you, but I also hope you can educate me as well.
I’ll be back soon with something more than an introduction, but in the mean time think about what kinds of topics you’d like to see discussed in this space.
Gotta run, nap time is over!
