I faxed over paperwork 15 minutes later and when they found out he had Down Syndrome, they said they were full. I reported them to the ADA.

Yes, Palin's son Trig will be in the public eye and that is a good thing in terms of visibility. I am also sure Palin will have a common bond with other parents who have a son or daughter with Down Syndrome. But I sincerely doubt this will translate into more progressive policies from McCain or the Republican Party. One's vote should be based on a careful analysis of the issues not the images projected by political strategists.william Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223601480542461802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111178127008014366.post-3671234042963819122008-09-03T16:07:00.000-04:002008-09-03T16:07:00.000-04:00I agree with you.

You picked ...Sandy, thanks so much for stopping by. You picked up the subtext of the entry - that, unfortunately, we worship individuality, but then deny people with DS their right to be individuals. It sounds like you had a very supportive medical team. Unfortunately, I think, in terms of medical advice about DS, the medical input you received is not shared in most places. The evidence points to many medicos really putting pressure on parents to terminate DS pregnancies. I'd be willing to bet that in most cases where there is heavy arm-twisting to terminate DS pregnancies, photos and videos like you have of Allie, your daughter, on your website, are never presented as a counterbalance. Too bad, Allie's beautifu!!Dr. Mark Mosterthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146945140364017105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6111178127008014366.post-59122398279466840062008-09-02T14:06:00.000-04:002008-09-02T14:06:00.000-04:00I agree!

It just wasn't worth the slight risk. As my doctor so wonderfully asked "Would the results make a difference on how you reacted?" Of course we said "NO", she asked then why would you want to do a test? Perfectly sane questions and we never considered it again. We are so blessed with the PERFECT baby. We couldn't have asked for a better baby. We will learn about DS together and hopefully bring awareness, acceptance and education to this world. These individuals are just that - individual. Accept people for who they are and stop discrimination and practice acceptance.Sandy Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343788816121315040noreply@blogger.com
