My name is Robin Newberger, and I live in Ojai, California, a small valley 15 miles inland from Ventura, with my husband, David, and our 5-year-old son, Daniel Hansen. Daniel was diagnosed with autism just after his third birthday. Our journey with Daniel has been our greatest challenge and our greatest blessing. Feel...
I tried to think of so many clever titles like “Stand and Deliver” or “Standing Tall” or “Stand in the place where you live….” but lets just keep in simple shall we? This is Lamp standing all by herself. Unassisted, without anything to hold on to, for the first time ever. Remember when B made...
Thank you so much for doing this amazing spotlight. My husband Adam and I were fortunate after years of trying to be blessed with two sweet little babies, Reagan (4.5 years), and Wyatt (2.5 years). We live in Utah, and I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom, while Adam works...
Having a new baby always brings new challenges, especially in the dinner department. Lately the crockpot has been the MVP of our kitchen. And since I’m struggling to even plan ahead I end up making chicken a lot. I want to share with you one of the easiest and tastiest ways to cook chicken. In...
A few weeks ago I received a package in the mail from the wonderful people over at Freshly Picked. I was confused… Lamp was one of their Moccs For a Year winner’s last year, but that was over and I hadn’t ordered any other moccasins. I opened up the package to see five (5!!) pairs of...
Last Sunday I saw PSP’s Sunday school class walking to their classroom but I didn’t see my daughter. I casually asked the teacher where she was and she didn’t know either…she said she had been right behind them but they lost her on the way. I was headed that direction and told her I’d find...
Miggy: Inga! Hi and thank you so much for participating in our special needs spotlight today. As mentioned you are a single mom of 4 adopted children–wow! I’m already in awe of you. In addition two of your children have fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. First, can you educate us a little bit about this condition? I know this...

Let's be friends!
Thank you so much, Miggy! This puts a big smile on my face this morning! I'm so glad I met you, my friend. I'm a "follower"!
He is just an adorable little boy. I did see the video and it reminded me of our son and how he loved garbage trucks. He would take off to follow them. I'd be trying to catch up with him after just having another baby. The trash men would keep telling him to go back hoe, hah.
I just wanted to tell you about Luke. I met Luke when he was in the first grade through the before and after school program that I worked at. He has autism. I love him. HE could build amazing things out of blocks. He was just a sweet loving little boy. He would get mad at us and say, "You are fired.'. We never took it to heart. I have seen him from tie to time and he always gives me a hug or comes to say hi This week after the 5th grade musical program, I ran into him. I told him he did a great job. He said, "Why thank you very much." Then his dad said how much they loved my son…..now his teacher. His dad was never know to say much more than hi. It sure warmed my heart. I know that Luke is going to do great in life.
What a beautiful and perfect little boy. Very touched by your faith and love.
Thanks, Debbie and Jessie!
I recognized the boy right away from the video! I cried when it was on the news. A lot.
