KAMILAND.....

This page is in honor of Kamille Swanson. Kamille, known as "Kami", is 6yrs and has Down Syndrome.

Kami was adopted by Donna in May 2001 when she was 3 days old. She was strong through two stomach surgeries when she was 4 and 7 months old. She is very healthy now and will be in 1st grade in the Fall.

In KamiLand, there is a world full of laughter, smiles, play, development, friendship and love. It is a land where when you hear that first laugh from her, it travels all the way to your heart and stays with you forever.

Kami is a beautiful little girl who knows she has Down Syndrome and knows when other kids have similar features. She is proud of herself just as God made her and has smiles that span our nation. She knows so many things like her colors, counting to 25, shapes, how to spell her first & last name and is learning her address. She loves Shrek, Barbie, Cinderella and reading books. Kami enjoys events at Gigi's Playhouse, an awareness & activity center for children with Down Syndrome and their families in Hoffman Estates and Plainfield, IL. She loves to attend music and pet therapy classes, as well as participate in Brownies.

I invite you to enjoy the poem I made for Kami upon her first birthday, her baptism and her adoption blessing on May 1, 2002.
