This morning, beautiful Baby Ryan went to be with Jesus. Ryan was three years old and had Tay Sachs. He was also adopted from Guatemala. Please pray for comfort and strength for Nancy, Ryan’s mom, and his three older sisters.
I was really hoping that Ryan and Carmen could meet as they share a birth country and adoption story. They will someday soon meet in Heaven.
And since you are probably wondering, no, Carmen and Ryan are not related. They are from different parts of Guatemala. The year we brought Carmen home from Guatemala, two other children were adopted into the U.S. from Guatemala who were later diagnosed with Tay Sachs. I want to add that this is not a good reason to be afraid of international adoption as these diseases are so, so rare. And no one could have known at such an early age that these children had Tay Sachs.
Beautiful Baby Ryan
