When Saturn cars first came on to the market one of their marketing ideas was to get people to get out of their cars and greet another Saturn owners whereever whenever. Meet strangers and share the joy of being a Saturn owner:)I have a beautiful almost three month Down Syndrome son. I did not know before I gave birth but knew the moment we met eye to eye. Since that day I have been seeking out other DS "owners" at parks, resturants and blogs. It has been a wonderful experience every single encounter. You get information first hand and tried and true. Keeping in mind that every single down syndrome child is different. Overall hearing that it is going to be OK from someone who has a 16 year old or a 2 year old really makes it sink in faster.Hearing Congratulations was shocking the first couple of times. All the information is overwhelming at first. But really Congratulations you have a support team that never ends unlike when you have a "normal" child. And you have a beautiful life to feed nuture and grow with just like any other human being.One tidbit of information I learned from a mother/educator was we have a brain that looks like a file cabinet organized and easily retrievable information. Down Syndrome children have a bucket!It is okay to grieve for a moment but it is more fun to be proud!
