Oh my! What a sad and tough thing to have to deal with at such a young age. And it may well explain why her birth parents were unable to care for her from the get go, if one or the other or both was dealing with (possibly not yet diagnosed) Huntington's. I hope your in-laws have the strength to deal with all that now will ensue with some form of humor, however dark that humor may be. Maybe the only way to make it through will be to laugh at it, some way or another. Their plan of travelling seems like a good start, packing in a lifetime of adventures in what time your niece has left to enjoy them. Sounds like they have the strength and wisdom to deal with this better than most and that your niece was lucky to find them.
Hugs and well wishes from afar!

We talked with my sister inlaw at length yesterday. We got a lot of insite on what they plan to do and what not. They are slowly coming to terms with it. They are going to try and help her stay strong and maybe that will help lessen the effects.
They had a big birthday party on sunday for my Nieces birth mom who has come to help and support her. Which for my sister in law you would think it would be tough but it has helped her because they have become friends.
But I guess the party was a huge blast and everyone just had a good time. My mother in law said it was a lot of fun and she really enjoyed meeting our nieces birth mom.
We have a big project in the town they live in this summer so we plan to hopefully see them a lot the time we are there.
Thank you again for letting me get this out here. It has hepled me a lot. And the kind words and thoughts from all of you mean so much. I hope no one here has to ever go through something like this it is just to tough let me tell you.
Bless all of you for being here!
