About Gracelyn Downing's personality

Gracelyn is a very social butterfly, outgoing, and empathetic. Lots of personality, big feelings, and determination! She’s the girl that smiles at everyone in the grocery store leaving me often to stop and talk because they are touched by her. (Sometimes I wonder if she just knows people think she’s cute or something ;) ) She’s the girl that will crawl across the park from my lap to go try to soothe a crying kid who fell and got hurt. Her determination has grown her faster than I imagined.

What are Gracelyn Downing's favorite activities?

Adores intentional interaction especially if a child is involved! She definitely prefers having a playmate over being alone. Enjoys jumping on the trampoline and swinging as well as all things water or outside! She also loves climbing and giving mom gray hairs to find the nearest thing to dive off of.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

2 and a half years ago, my husband and I were told without a miracle we couldn’t have children which led us to adopt our beautiful baby girl! A decision we’re forever grateful for! We would use it to help grow our family through the adoption of another sibling for her. Our social butterfly thrives off the idea of more is merrier. :)
