She Has Special Needs, But Her Family Does Something That Made Me Cry

You're about to meet a family who takes an enduring hardship and turns it into pure love.

Stacey was born with a rare birth defect called agenesis of the corpus callosum. She was born without the bridge of nerves that connect the hemispheres of the brain. To compound this condition, she also has an abnormal 3Q chromosome. Scientists and doctors have yet to map out what exactly the 3Q chromosome controls. What is known is that these two anomalies raise Stacey’s illness leading to many mental and physical set-backs. Her speech is impaired. She is uncoordinated at times. As her mother Shannon would describe, Stacey has the mentality “of a two year old.” Simply, she is a disabled 16-year-old who requires constant assistance with day-to-day life.

Her siblings, Michelle, 17, and Robby, 12, and Stacey's parents are there to help her every step of the way. Instead of considering Stacey a burden, she is the "best thing that could have happened to them." They use love and faith to guide them through this amazing journey. Watch as Michelle and Robby sit down in front of the camera and talk about how blessed they are to be a part of Stacey's inner circle.
