Thank you so much for sharing Betty. It sounds like you and your husband have your hands full but it also sounds like you have two great kiddos that will add wonderful texture to your life in the future. They are lucky to have parents as wonderful as you sound. Thanks for dropping by. I hope to get to know you and your family better over time.

My parents are beginning the process of adopting a Down Syndrome boy from Mexico. His name is Julian and he’s three years old. My dad was reluctant at first to go through with the adoption. A few days ago, we found out that Julian was in the hospital because of pneumonia. Along with that, the CPS in Mexico wants to take him away from the orphanage he’s at right now. After my dad found out about this, he changed his attitude and agreed with my mom to go through with the adoption!

Pray that the adoption process will go smoothly and no problems. Also, Julian is doing much better but is still in the hospital.

Hi,
I was blessed with the gift of two (2) Down Syndrome children born 4 years apart. Lauren is 8, will be 9 in January and Logan will be 5 in November. They are wonderful children, but every child has his/her moments. It takes a special individual/couple to parent children with DS. They require so much love, attention and patience, you have to be tireless in advocating for them in every setting. I am finding that I have a loud voice when it comes to standing up for my children. It is hard, but rewarding work. i just want to say to all parents that have or will have DS children: It’s a beautiful experience and you will grow so much as an individual by traveling on the less traveled path with your lovely children. I am now a single parent, and the road is hard at times, but those 2 little faces looking up at me every morning makes it all worthwhile.
Keep up this site, I loved reading all the comments.

Tamara

Manju,

It would probably be better to engage with members of the community by signing…Comments are a tough place to have this kind of discussion.
