Re: My SIL got some disheartening news UPDATE 7/12
Posted by hbugal
My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I am no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It comes from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not from the start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace
It's the Creed of Babies with Down Syndrome....
PS. They are the most beautiful babies...
Love it!

7/12
We found out yesterday that the baby has DS. We spent the night with my brother and SIL last night. I have no clue what is going to happen now. Believe me, I know this is not the end of the world but it feels that way to them right now and they are not exactly agreeing on what to do next so it is very upsetting. I just wish and hope that they can come together at this time and make the best decision for themselves and this child, together. Either way I support them 100%.Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
I don't know what to say. Only they can decide and whatever choice they make is the right one.

they really are! I had a  w/ downs when i was in peds, and she was the cutest, happiest baby ever. I'm smiling right now just thinking about her.
DH and i have both worked with the population, and we agree that they've probably been some of our favorite people ever to know. Take the nicest and funniest person you know, and then give them the biggest heart in the world... that's been my experience w/ downs, anyway.
I know some people consider it a tough decision, and i know (from having downs and autism in my family) that it's hard to accept that you're kid isn't going to be "normal" by society's standards, but ehhhh society sucks and normal is overrated anyway. I hope they can still find the blessing in all of this.

I agree 
My aunts cousin had downs..she passed away last year (she was in her 60's) and she was a terrific, loving and very much loved member of their family.
I hope they get through this together whatever they choose. It is upsetting news, no one foresees their child having problems...you are wonderful for being there for them and giving them the support they need, which will be a lot right now!!

Re: My SIL got some disheartening news UPDATE 7/12
I taught a little girl with DS and she was the light of my classroom. As the poem says, the baby will do things at its own pace, but you'll see what a light he or she will bring into your life!!!

This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I pray that your SIL and brother can reach an agreement soon. I am so sorry you and your family are going through this.
