[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, check out the blog “confessions of the chromosomally enhanced.” The author adopted a child with Down syndrome after growing up with a sister with Down syndrome. Also check out the writings of Dr. Brian Skotko, a doctor who is an expert on the condition.[/quote] We have a friend who adopted a daughter with DS because she grew up living with a (really lovely) aunt who had DS. She knew exactly what she was getting into, but she hasn't regretted it. She thinks the impact on her NT children has been nothing but positive; that said, she is incredibly financially secure, so resource allocation vis-a-vis other kids, emergencies, retirement, etc. just isn't much of an issue. If you are in a similar boat (and it sounds like you may be), I think you could be the best thing that ever happened to this child.[/quote]
