Loving Down syndrome Children
My brother has Down syndrome and he's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. So get over it! :))))))
Just remember that this is your child... YOUR CHILD! =] You should love them unconditionally, regardless if they are born with three legs or 5 eyeballs -- thankfully, however, Down syndrome is not like that at all; you could have it much worse.
The poem "Welcome to Holland" -- by Emily Perl Kingsley (see Related Links) -- helped me right away when I found out that my son would be born with Down syndrome. It prepared my mind-set for when he was born. Also look up "birth defects" online... seriously, there are so very many more scary things out there than this.
I am not saying that raising a child with Down syndrome is easy or a walk in the park all the time... just most of the time. Seriously, have you ever met, or seen, or even heard of, a child that was completely perfect?
A school system in Florida must accept your child with Down Syndrome. This doesn't mean that each school in the system will accept him or her, only that there is at least one school within the system that will provide for them.
No. Parents who have a child with Down syndrome do not have an increased chance in having another child with Down syndrome. Everyone has the same chance of having a child with Down syndrome, 1%.
That would mean that the mother is the one with Down syndrome, since men with Down syndrome are sterile. There is a 50% chance that the child will have Down syndrome and 50% chance that child will be born without.
No Marie does not have a child with down syndrome. It was mistaken that she did because one of her children is crossed eyed.
That depends. Men with Down syndrome have been shown to be sterile, while women with Down syndrome are capable of carrying a child, with 50% likelihood that the child will be born with Down syndrome.
My young child has down syndrome(not really).
Yes, children with Down syndrome can get adopted. I have two sisters, both have Down Syndrome, and both were adopted. They are amazing :)

What is the role of a PSW helping a person with down syndrome
Since Down Syndrome is not genetic and is a trisomy, dominant and recessive genes do not play a role and it is possible for two down syndrome parents to have a child without down syndrome.
How bad is the Down syndrome?Can the child communicate and understand in the class?Can the child read and write?
Yes, any fetus is active. It doesn't matter if the child has down syndrome or not.
