While each country is different, I can speak for Chile's national program which provides therapies free of charge to qualifying families. There are dedicated professionals. Availability of services and certainly options are sometimes limited, and specialized care requires travel to the capital but is doable. I hope this is helpful! God bless.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603244678280067360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-75492642026627801222016-07-20T23:56:08.198-04:002016-07-20T23:56:08.198-04:00Thank you for sharing your story. I would like to ...Thank you for sharing your story. I would like to share a little about myself with you. I am married to the love of my life. He is a youth pastor. We have three beautiful children. We have adopted our older two children (ages 4 and 5). Our youngest daughter is two years old and it has been a difficult but blessed journey. In the next few weeks we will be doing some more evaluations and it is very possible that she will receive a diagnosis of CP. She is already in therapy for speech, OT, and feeding. I have stayed at home with her since she was born due to her medical difficulties. I have always felt God calling me to be a missionary and my husband has went on a few short term mission trips. Since my daughters birth I have put my work/mission dreams on hold and coming to the realization that this will probably never be able to happen now. After reading your article it is making me think that I should not put boundaries on God and that maybe I can still be a missionary someday. If its not too personal could you share with me some things such as: How are medical needs met in another country? What about therapies or special schools? I don't know what God has in store for the future for my daughter or our family but your family encourages me that there is more to life than a diagnosis and it doesn't have to hold us back. Thank you for sharing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-67996567240956130922008-04-28T16:18:00.000-04:002008-04-28T16:18:00.000-04:00This is an important story-of what God can do.

I don't know if I will know when I go and get him??? We don't know if his gross motor skills are so delayed because of being blind, or having CP??? By the way, his passport was approved on Wednesday, and they called me during our anniversary dinner on thursday to tell us that the Passport had gotten printed, and was at GLA. They will have his visa appointment this week, and then I can get plane tickets!!!!!!!! Yeah....Rebekah Hubleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636941662295262349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-25598252875159791682008-04-25T18:37:00.000-04:002008-04-25T18:37:00.000-04:00You're a good mom, Steph.
