When we are young, many little girls dream about being Moms. How many we want, boys or girls, etc. However, how many of you dreamed about being the Mom of a special needs child? Probably none of you, I know that thought never entered into my mind.
 Nevertheless, that soon all changed for me when I was four months pregnant. The ultrasound determined that my son had a heart abnormality that indicated the chances of him being diagnosed with Down Syndrome were a lot greater.
My life quickly changed on March 22, 2006, when I gave birth to my “special needs” son - Jacob. How overwhelming were all the feelings I was experiencing. I soon learned that his needs were now going to be my top priority. I wanted him to have it all. I was not going to use his “disability” as a reason that he could not try to led as normal of a life as possible. I documented my journey with him and published my first book “Jacob’s Journal – My Journey Home” available online.
As I juggle, the life of a special needs mom and a mom entrepreneur, I found there was a need in the special needs arena for an on-line support group, which targeted moms who have chosen to stay at home and juggle running a business while caring for their special needs child. Support both professionally and personally in one supportive environment, was missing for these moms. Therefore, I created Special MompreneursTM – Where we embrace Moms and all their special needs.Being a mother of a child with special needs is a daily struggle with many rewards. Children are a blessing no matter what their “ability” is. When you embrace them “all” and their families, you will find that the outcome is overpowering.
