First of all, you're wonderful parents and you have wonderful, glorious children. I am in awe.

About your question, I would LOVE for Brynn to write a book about how it felt growing up. In watching the TV movie version I was always impressed by her understanding of life at those young ages. I've never met her. She was not there when we had our intensive program (vacation I think). Jeff has. And of course, I got to watch her on the BBC video. While a book would be intriguing, I would love to watch a taping of her answering questions and sharing her experiences. I love her heartfelt laugh and expressions and mannerisms -- all that would get lost in a book. I'd like to know about her other siblings and how they felt too. With such a large family, it would be interesting to see the diversities of thoughts and what they've chosen to do at this point in their lives. Okay, so we have a book, and now a video taping. I'd buy both. I think it is the ultimate irony in life, that she helped with Raun only to now adopted a child who has autism who is apparently blowing everybody's socks off. But no one expected any less from them. She is a lucky, lucky little girl. But God knew what he was doing...
