Celebrated Abilities

“I was 26 weeks pregnant when I received the Down
syndrome diagnosis for my baby girl. My husband and I

previously had no contact with persons with Trisomy 21, so
we had no idea what to expect.... We were greeted warmly

at the parent meetings, and they were very informative
and well organized....

We always look forward to the family activities; we all have

so much fun, especially big brother. We feel pampered by
the wonderful setup and activities, the contributions from

sponsors and volunteers. Thank you!

But most importantly, we see kids and adults with Down
Syndrome of all ages interact and have fun. That is most

valuable to us.”
