The honorable Judge Frank Caprio of Caught In Providence fame believes there’s a “special place in Heaven” for parents blessed with children facing special needs. And what he says is powerful! Parenting is one of life's biggest blessings. There is no feeling like opening your heart and home to a child‚ either through birth or adoption. Children add so much joy‚ love and happiness to life. RELATED: Best Little Brother Ever Helps Sister With Special Needs Make A Slam Dunk And It's The Sweetest But like everything else in life‚ worthwhile things are also difficult. The actions‚ words and lessons children learn from their parents will impact the rest of their lives. There are massive responsibilities that come with being a parent. That's especially true if the Lord blesses a couple with a child with special needs. A Special Place In Heaven In a clip posted on YouTube‚ Judge Frank Caprio said parents who have been blessed with children with special needs have been set apart in the eyes of God. In fact‚ he believes that heaven has a "special place" for those who care for and love children with special needs.

"Raising any child is challenging. Parenting a child with special needs will teach you just how strong you really are. It requires incredible tenacity‚ patience‚ resourcefulness and an unwavering commitment to never-ending love." What a beautiful sentiment from the kind‚ loving and gracious judge about life‚ parenting and children with special needs. Yes‚ that child may require more time‚ attention and assistance than other children. But they are still just as special and loved in the eyes of the Lord‚ and as Judge Frank Caprio believes‚ so are that child's parents.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon‚ a Republican‚ signed legislation to ban ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors. “The ban outlaws gender-affirming surgeries and other forms of care for those under 18 in the state‚ like puberty blockers and hormone therapy‚” Wyoming Public Media reports. SF 99 was previously named “Chloe’s Law” in honor of detransitioner-turned activist Chloe Cole. “Physicians who violate the law would face the suspension or revocation of their professional licenses‚” LifeSiteNews noted. While rejecting the abortion bill‚ Republican Gov. Mark Gordon signed into law a measure that makes Wyoming the latest state to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors. https://t.co/M9ZwgOmh6p — NBC News (@NBCNews) March 23‚ 2024 NBC News reports: While rejecting the abortion bill‚ Gordon signed into law a measure that makes Wyoming the latest state to ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors‚ saying he supports the bill’s protections for minors. He added‚ however‚ that he also thinks such legislation amounts to the government “straying into the personal affairs of families.” At least 24 states have adopted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for minors‚ and most of those states have been sued. A federal judge struck down Arkansas’ ban as unconstitutional. In Idaho and Montana‚ judges’ orders are in place temporarily blocking enforcement of the bans. Wyoming lawmakers also passed bills this session enforcing parental rights in education. Gordon said the Legislature needs to “sort out its intentions” on parental rights. Wyoming is set to join more than 20 US states that have cracked down on destructive hormones and surgeries for gender-confused children in recent years.#genderconfusion #gender #Wyoming #transgender #newshttps://t.co/P3vfkZGspt — LifeSiteNews (@LifeSite) March 19‚ 2024 Per LifeSiteNews: Transgender drugs and surgeries are inherently destructive and carry grave physical and emotional risks for gender-confused young people. The surgical and pharmaceutical interventions have been linked to serious and permanent physical and psychological damage‚ including cardiovascular diseases‚ loss of bone density‚ cancer‚ strokes and blood clots‚ infertility‚ and suicidality. To date‚ it’s unclear whether Gov. Gordon will sign the measure. The governor has allowed several other laws curbing gender ideology to automatically take effect without the benefit of his signature‚ including a 2023 measure banning gender-confused boys and men from competing against girls and women in sports. Though allowing it to take effect‚ Gordon had criticized the bill as “draconian‚” suggesting such decisions should be made on local and individual levels‚ not by the state legislature. Wyoming Republican state Sen. Anthony Bouchard‚ who sponsored SF 99‚ told LifeSiteNews via text message on Thursday that it remains to be seen whether Gordon will take any action on the bill banning transgender mutilation for children. “If the Governor believes that barring males from competing in female sports is draconian‚ how does he feel about prohibiting sex changes on minors? Only time will tell‚” he said. Sen. Bouchard‚ who had introduced an earlier version of the bill last year that was passed by the Senate but scrapped in the House‚ emphasized in his remarks on Thursday that SF 99 is about defending true freedom‚ not a false freedom promoted by the political left.
