Here Here! I have an 10 year old daughter with DS. When I found out I was scared and wondered if I would be able to raise a daughter with special needs and honestly doubting my ability as a mother. She is a ray of sunshine in my life as well as many others. Sure I had dreams like everyone for a healthy "normal" child. So I changed them. No big deal! They were to let her be "OK"..she had many medical issues. She has defied the odds so many times; a true testament to her strength and zest for life. I don't know what I do without her and enjoy every day with her. All the things I say about her can be said about my other children (and vice versa) who do not have DS nor any other "special need". She truly is one of Life's Blessings.
