Cedar’s Story.com launched in March 2017 and thanks to all of you it became the #1 Down Syndrome blog listed by Feedspot in 2017!!!! I thought I would pull together the Google Analytics ranks for the top 10 posts here on Cedar’s Story for 2017… have you seen them all?
First of all, I have so many of you to thank. I started this site as a way to offer encouragement to other new moms who would be joining our ranks and would be, like I was, scared of what the future would hold. I knew I wanted this to be a safe place where that new mom who might not yet be ready to talk to someone could still find hope. Those new families could see they are not alone and when they were ready to reach out, they could find others like them living a fulfilled life despite any diagnosis they received.
You have all helped in this venture by sharing your own diagnosis stories, telling other about the site, and following us on social media sites. For that, we thank you abundantly for your support.
I hope that we are able to reach even more moms in 2018 and have an even bigger impact on changing perceptions of Down Syndrome in the world.
Without further delay…here are the top 10 posts of 2017:
