Good News for Would-be Mothers: Early, Non-Invasive Method to Assess Down Syndrome Risk a Success

Good news for would-be mothers.

Bad news for would-be DS kids.

It is also bad news for Would-be Mothers. My wife and I have two sons with Down Syndrome. One biological and one adopted.

When our son Sean was born, it was traumatic. We had no experience dealing with disabilities of any kind. We didn't know what to expect. We were afraid. With God's help and the prayers and support of family and friends, we sucked it up and moved ahead. Sean was such a joy to us that after a few years we adopted David. Now, we can't imagine our lives without them. Parents who are given an "easy" way out and take it, will have missed out on a precious gift. A gift sent back to God marked "return to sender."
