Amy's Story - Another Success

Five-year-old Amy is a little angel and she was quickly chosen by an adoptive family. Soon afterwards, they had her tested for HIV and she tested positive. Although they were heartbroken, the family returned her--they had wanted to adopt a healthy child.

 

 

Amy is a little miracle. Despite her illness, she does well at school and enjoys horse-riding, gymnastics, and especially swimming.

Today, Amy is beginning to regain her self-confidence and is a happy child once more. Unfortunately, AIDS is beginning to take its toll, making the support she receives from Roses and Rosemary vital. She is receiving anti-retroviral medications, and relies on them as much as she relies on the support she gets from TLC to help her bear the burden of the disease.
