Building Healthy Families: Children are a gift from God, perfect miracles each one, and are created in his likeness (Genesis 1: 26). This is true for all of God’s children, including special needs children. If you find yourself questioning God’s wisdom and asking, “Why me?”, “Where do I go from here?” or “What does this diagnosis mean for my child’s future?” You are not alone. We have the help you desire. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa Des Moines, IA (515) 251-4900.
