Joy?
I've heard people wish for a boy or a girl.
They might hope the child is born with blue eyes or brown hair.
How many folks wish their child to be born with Downs Syndrome?
I don't recall offering an opinion on how many people do wish for this.
I am sorry that you suffer from the inability to comprehend joy.
My son and daughter knew that they were going to have a Down Sybdrome baby and they went ahead with the birth. My grandson had not intestinal or heart problems which are very common. My daughter in law is a nurse and was able to work with my grandson to correct his posture.
He is so dear to me.
Now, let’s consider Sarah and Todd Palin. They also decided to birth a Down Syndrome child. So are you going to hold that against them too?
God loves all these babies. Probably even more than the normal children or you or me.
May God continue to bless these children born with Down Syndrome and their families.
Nobody whishes it mate but my Nephew, who has downs, is an absolute joy. These kids bring a joy that others do not and you have to have on to appreciate it.
Cheers

I have a child with DS. Wish for it? No but is it a joy? yes, she has taught me so much and has helped me grow in ways I never thought I could?
A choice one would willing choose for a pregnancy ? No. But once exceptence is reached it is truly a wonderful journey. (but some do choose to adopt babies and children with Down Syndrome because they really do care for them)
