ALL, I realise I am possibly mis-using this Group but I could not resist this. It was sent to me by a young 13 year-old CHASE descendant:- Hi all, I received this letter from a wonderful lady, come and sign her = guestbook for her sons birthday!! I am trying to give my stepson a very special birthday gift. I was wondering if you could help. Below is the message I am sending to different people. I would love to have more kids sign my son's 16th = Birthday Guestbook. I would like to invited you to visit my stepson Happy Birthday Page. He = is a child with disabilities and is having a tough time adjusting to them = as a teenager. I only married his dad last August. My husband never had = custody of Adam. However, due to family problems it was felt we could meet his needs better at this time. So in March he moved in. I wanted to give = him a special party but he only has one friend who is away all summer. So I = made him a Birthday web page. It is very family friendly. This was my first attempt. It took a lot of trial and error. I only got = the idea about two weeks ago so I had to work long nights to finish it so = people could sign his guest book. Most important a lot of love for my son went into it. We are trying to get 500 names in his guestbook before his Birthday on = July 16. Adam does not know about this site it is a surprise. I hope this = site will help built his self esteem and know in his heart he is loved. Would you please pass the url for Adam's Party on to all your friends so they can sign too. Thank you for having a caring heart.
