From personal experience. SHE HASN’t ever been around a Downs Syndrome kid. I have TWO in the family, and we all say, EVERY FAMILY NEEDS AT LEAST ONE DOWNS SYNDROME CHILD. Yep, it does have an impact, and Yep, the impact is positive. She is DEAD wrong. Sorry.
Many years ago I worked with a couple expecting their first baby.
When told it may have Downs Syndrome the father wanted to abort but the mother refused.
The baby girl was born perfect.
Imagine how the father must feel every time he looks at his daughter.
Imagine the strain on the marriage.
Imagine God’s Grace.
One baby.
One middle-aged man sitting with his elderly mother.
Another middle-aged man with his elderly mother.
And a young married couple.
The baby is in a family of four older siblings.
The two middle-aged men are their widowed mother's best company.
And the young married couple I have followed for more than ten years. Their parents are very attentive and supported their natural desire to have a spouse.
We do have room for everyone God gives us.
