Today my guest will share about what special need parenting has been like - the unknowns, the waiting, the process and how her hope in Jesus has helped her find joy and fulfillment in the journey. Having a special child impacts your marriage, other children and need for community. I am thrilled to have Melanie Gomez on today!
