If the Down Syndrome child was born in the U.S. the parent MAY be qualified to remain in the country to care for it as long as the child remains in their custody. However, if the baby was not an "anchor baby" - no.

About 90 percent of pregnant women who are given a Down syndrome diagnosis have chosen to have an abortion. Until recently the test was given only to women over 35 so many got the message after the child was born so they never had the option.
People with Down syndrome are no different from the rest of us, except they look slightly different and are not able to do as many things as "normal" people. Therefore, unless they have a severe case of Down syndrome, they should have normal marriage ceremonies.
Who really cares if a child looks normal or not!? God created us all the same, and we shouldn't treat each other differently just because we have a little disability! Calling a disabled child "dumb" or a "retard" is not going to change their life and is only going to hurt their feelings, so why bother?! But the truth is, a child with Down Syndrome is not going to look regular without some major surgery. They will need facial reconstruction, though. But even if you choose to have plastic surgery performed on your child with Down Syndrome or not, just remember to love and take care of him or her. It's the best gift you can give your child, and with the right therapy and attention, your child (and you!) can learn to live a normal, neurotypical life.
