Please help me with this project

I've been feeling a little too idle lately. (Not with the kids; they keep me busy!) But I figured out today that I just need a project to keep my brain busy. So here's what I've decided to do:

I'm creating a map as a visual reference of where T-18 babies live.

I'm trying to reach out to as many t-18 parents as possible, so if you happen to know of any, could you please tell them about this project, too?

What I need is your child's name, age, type of t-18, and city and state or country where your child lives. If you have a blog or caringbridge page, I'd also like the address.

As soon as I'm finished with this project and feel as if I have a comprehensive list, I'll gladly share this with you. You may either post in the form of a comment or email me at southerngirl72j@comcast.net.

Thank you so much for your help! Obviously, I could not do this without you!

  1. Jill, what a great ideal. I have often thought that I would like to meet families that I have talked with via email or have met at conference. But I never remember exactly where they live. This is wonderful! I hope you get so many responses. I am going to email you our address and the infor you asked.thank you for doing this on behalf of all families.

  2. Hey Jill, let me first start by saying how much I appreciate being able to read your blog, and follow the wonderful updates on Lily. I'm Cara. My partner is David. We live just out of Melbourne, Australia. We have Vivienne (Vivi Rose), with full T18, who has just turned 14 months old. She has a big sister Audrey who is nearly 5 and in spectacularly good health.
    Good luck with the project- I'm hoping to get to Chicago later this year... and maybe even go to the SOFT conference, and get to meet some of you fabulous people whose blogs I have been following with such interest! Fingers crossed. Thanks for doing this, Cara.
