American Idol: Young Pro-Life Singer Makes the Cut!

What a powerful witness.  Maddy Curtis, a poised sixteen year old with a beautiful voice, has made the first cut for the American Idol auditions.  Maddy is child number 9 out of the 12 children of  Tripp and Barbara Curtis.  Maddy's older brother, Jonathan, was born with Down Syndrome.  In order to give him some companionship, her parents adopted another child with Down Syndrome.  This led to another adoption and yet another.  As Maddy puts it, her four brothers "see the world in colors" and we need to see it that way."

Listen to Maddy's encouraging testimony (how did this get on network tv?) and her beautiful rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."  (h/t Catholic Exchange)
