Real life Down Syndrome Awareness
Paige has been featured on the site before, her beautiful girl named Eden showed the world just how well a child with Down Syndrome can learn sign language. However, this time I asked Paige what many mamas have talked to me about…their fear of wanting another child after having a baby with Down Syndrome, How to handle the fear that they may have another child with special needs. So, Paige shares about getting pregnant again after already having a baby with Down Syndrome.
When a mom learns that her baby has Down Syndrome she can often be overwhelmed with the thought of how this will impact other children in the family. She can sometimes feel guilt that her other children may be affected negatively because their sibling has Down Syndrome. However, Gabe shares with us just how a teen feels when his sibling has Down Syndrome.

Hello! I’m Julia, and my twin brother Michael was my inspiration to begin a blog. Everyone with Down Syndrome has different abilities, Michael is completely non-verbal. However, that doesn’t stop him from enlightening those around him with his kindness and happiness.

I have a little brother named Wyatt who is 19 months old. My family adopted Wyatt at birth, and since the day he was born he has had many health issues. He has had 5 surgeries, one being open heart surgery. We have always tried to keep him away from germs to keep him from getting sick.
