I had no idea my son, Bailey had Down syndrome until he was born. My risk was low and I was 27. Being a parent is hard enough, but when you pour a diagnosis on top of it, well, there are challenges, complications, and disappointments. That’s the hard stuff, but the magic that my son projects out into the world silences the rest.

The resources listed below are lifelines. Even if you aren’t a parent to a child with Down syndrome, having knowledge is power. Maybe it will allow you to provide a job opportunity or more acceptance into your community. If you are the lucky parental figure of one of these special individuals, I welcome you and am happy to share my experience strength and hope. You aren’t in this alone.
