Guess what....? My husband pinged me to your post on this thread. I never would have seen it otherwise. We have voted for the “Awareness Can Build a Family” project - one of several involving Down Syndrome.

On a personal note: Years ago my cousin learned she was going to have a Down Syndrome baby. She and her husband were well fixed financially and had planned to have several children. This shocking news could have devastated her. Instead, she said “Well, I guess God knew what He was doing when He chose to bless us with this special child. SHe will never have to be institutionalized. We have the means to see to it she has the best care possible in our ho me and I will personally oversee every aspect of her development education. I am delighted to be given stewardship of such a human treasure!”

I am still amazed and proud of her for seeing the silver lining and for stepping up to the plate to give this baby a real life. What a difference attitude makes! By the way, you exemplify the same loving and self sacrificing attitude she does. You are to be commended. Your little treasure is a living doll!
