how did we become the falcon's nest? we're glad you asked!
The Falcon's Nest name is the result of a great movie, and our sweet girl joining the family.
The Peanut Butter Falcon is a movie following a man, who has Down syndrome, pursue his dream of becoming a pro wrestler, and befriending an outlaw in the process. It was a movie we watched and loved long before Colleen came bursting into the family. Once Colleen did arrive, we processed ALL the feelings - including the idea that we'd never be "empty nesters" caring for a special needs child. While sharing this notion with our dear friend Brian, he asked "Why would you want an empty nest? You get to have a Falcon's Nest!" - cementing our love for the movie about a hero with DS, and the privilege of getting to raise our daughter, extra chromosome and all.
We're grateful you're here, and appreciate the entire Falcon's Nest community for being friends, advocates and part of Colleen's nest.
