Welcome back to our beautiful chaos. Thank you for all the wonderful messages we have received from our first episode. Today we are turning back the hands of time to Zachary's open heart surgery and the wild birth story as doctors confirm he was not born with Down syndrome.

Welcome to our Podcast, Love Out of Chaos with The Valentines. We are so excited to share our story and this journey we call, our beautiful chaos. Life doesn't always go as planned, for many of us we encounter hard times, many bumps in the road, unexpected detours, and frankly, navigating through these times can often feel overwhelming. The stories we have to share with you are filled with so many of these unplanned unknowns and through these moments we have learned to embrace life allowing it to unfold the way it was intended to by navigating it with patience, love, and faith. Thank you for being part of our family and this journey.
