Cary Lynn & Marvin

Ages 6 & 11, Virginia

Meet Cary Lynn & Marvin, superhero siblings through adoption. Cary Lynn is a sassy, spunky, rock star. She loves people, wearing big hair bows, and is a daddy's girl. Marvin is funny, smart, and kind and has a very dry sense of humor. Both children have multiple medical conditions. Cary Lynn's include Mitochondrial Disease, Cerebral Palsy, and Diabetes insipidus. Marvin has Autism, KMT2E genetic mutation, Shaken Baby Syndrome.

Both children are on waiting lists for Medicaid. Their mother, Amy, loves being their super mom but has struggled to make sure her kids get all the support they need. She says, "Even though by adopting these children I have saved Virginia millions of dollars they are still treated like second class citizens. My son attends a private school at my expense. Our county refuses to provide FAPE (free and appropriate public education) for either child and neither get their needs met."
