Pair of Miracles

When Karla Akins hoped that her autistic sons could learn to read and function independently, doctors warned her that those expectations would never be met. She set out to prove that, despite those warnings, all things are possible through God.
Laced with humor and compassion, A Pair of Miracles is the heartwarming story of her journey rearing adopted twin sons, each diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol disorder. This is more than a moving biography from a mom on the front lines, however. It is a powerful tool, full of practical help for parents, educators, and church members working with children who have intellectual disabilities, speech impairments, and other limitations on the autism spectrum. It is also a challenge to the church to welcome and celebrate all the members of their congregation, no matter their abilities.
Thanks to Karla's determination, faith, and unconditional love--and contrary to the doctors' predictions--her adult twins are now able to function independently in many ways. They help their dad install pools, do carpentry work, and serve in the church as ushers, sound engineers, and children's ministry workers.
For parents seeking hope, answers, and peace, Karla leads the way to all three down a path she's already been.

Cand Karla Akins a sperat ca fiii ei autisti pot invata sa citeasca si sa functioneze independent, medicii au avertizat-o ca aceste asteptari nu vor fi niciodata indeplinite. Ea si-a propus sa demonstreze ca, in ciuda avertismentelor, toate lucrurile sunt posibile prin Dumnezeu.
