I found out about my daughter's Down syndrome when she was born and the doctors/nurses never talked about any options, everyone always just assumed we were taking her home. The people I know who found out about their child's Down syndrome when they were pregnant were given the option of abortion or taking her home at birth, no adoption or institutionalization.Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874287692067673076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-87842903425861133192018-01-31T10:36:25.487-08:002018-01-31T10:36:25.487-08:00This is such a beautiful, heartfelt post.

I enjoy reading your adventures with Beth and have been saying little prayers that Beth finds a wonderful job which she enjoys and the people appreciate her. Enjoy your week.Preppy Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446028963455322844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-59960543022200583122018-01-27T22:50:11.155-08:002018-01-27T22:50:11.155-08:00This is so beautiful!

And what a blessing your sweet little Beth is to your family, she is so beautiful! <br /><br />I have always had a great love and tender spot in my heart for children with disabilities, especially Downs. These amazing kids have such a sweet spirit about them, they are so special, and just make me so happy. I can't imagine giving a child with a disability up for adoption, but, I have a dear friend who did adopt a sweet little girl with Downs, and she has been such a joy to her family. Everyone who knows her just falls in love with her, she is precious. They are very grateful for the parents that put her up for adoption. Their lives would be very empty without her, even though they had 6 other children. She was an answer to a prayer!<br /><br />Give Beth a hug for me!! <br /><br />Hugs and love,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.com
