Meet the Murrays, a 40-something husband and wife who live in Highland, Utah, and have made it their life's mission to provide families for unwanted kids with special needs, Down syndrome in particular.
HIGHLAND — "Man, that kid hit the jackpot!"
Ten minutes after he was born, the doctor informed Brady that Nash had Down syndrome, the genetic disorder caused by the appearance of an extra chromosome that dramatically slows down growth rate. As adults, people with Down syndrome typically have the mental capacity of an 8 or 9-year-old."I was quite emotional and fearful. I didn't know what that meant.
"People say how great it is for Cooper," says Brady. "I mean a kid, living in a city of 14 million people on the other side of the world, left on a street corner, with Down syndrome, how did he end up with a great family in Utah? Yeah, there's no question it's a benefit and a blessing for him, but at the end of the day, we are the ones getting the greatest blessing, getting that kid as a member of our family. The same goes for our other kids.
