Rewriting the Narrative on Adoption and Down Syndrome

In this thought-provoking episode of the See the Miracle podcast, host Brady Murray sits down with Whittney Moody, a fearless advocate for individuals with Down syndrome and adoption. Whittney shares how she and her husband Michael always dreamed of adopting—but it wasn’t until the birth of their son, Jude, who has Down syndrome, that they truly understood the deeper meaning of acceptance and belonging. Their journey led them to adopt Max, another child with special needs, creating an unbreakable bond between their sons and reshaping the lives of everyone in their family.

But here’s the controversial truth: society often views children with disabilities as burdens rather than gifts. Whitney challenges this mindset, proving that love, resilience, and a strong community can turn what many see as limitations into extraordinary opportunities. From an affirming hospital experience after Jude’s birth to the powerful impact of her uncle with Down syndrome, Whittney’s perspective is one that more people need to hear—whether they’re ready for it or not.

Through performances at UGA Miracle and daily acts of service, Max and Jude are not just living with their diagnoses—they are rewriting the narrative. This episode will make you question outdated beliefs about disability, family, and the true meaning of inclusion. Are you willing to see the miracle?
