Today is World Down Syndrome Day!
Not only do we celebrate those who we love with Down syndrome, we also advocate for the 2 out of 3 who are aborted after a Down syndrome diagnosis.

Children with Down Syndrome have all of the feelings and emotions that typical children do. They reach milestones, have friendships, go to school, and LOVE like no other. If you know someone with Down syndrome, you already know that you are part of .

Different isn’t bad. It’s just different.
