Fact about Down syndrome ...

According to a new study put out by Dr. Brian Skotko, 97% of siblings (ages 9-11) said they love their brother/sister with Down syndrome. Similarly, among siblings (ages 12 and older), 97% expressed feelings of pride about their brother/sister with DS and 88% were convinced they were better people because of their sibling with DS. One of the reasons birthparents chose to end their pregnancy is because they don't think it is fair to their other children. Sadly, they did not know it is just the opposite!
