What a beautiful family! I pray they are surrounded with protection, guidance and strength because God has surely given them great love.
Happy Birthday!

I have only just discovered Juliana’s story. She is a brave little girl. Her photos reveal such a strong spirit! And what phenomenal parents! I was so shocked when I came across Juliana’s photo. I am disappointed with my reaction and my prejudice. When I read more, I realized how much there is to learn from this family.
