Down Syndrome Stories
You are not alone in carring
your child with Down Syndrome to term. This is what
Laura’s mom has to say to parents who have been
given the adverse prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome:
“A year ago when she
was born with Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), her daddy
and I didn't know what to expect. Since then, we have
read and learned a lot about Down syndrome. We will
put no limitations on Laura... instead, we will encourage
her to live to her potential, fulfilling the purpose
God has for her life. To us, she is a treasure - and
we are so thankful she is a part of our family... so
much so, that my 16 yr. old daughter now wants to adopt
a baby with Down syndrome one day. There is an adoption
waiting list for these special babies, and now I understand
why.”
