I heard a call from a Grandmother whose sister said having a Down syndrome baby was "karma". I was in tears instantly with the call and I loved your response. Any family facing this situation should know that they have received a gift from God with that baby.
I had a sister with Down syndrome that was more like my child. We lost her 3 years ago, at age 56. These families need to know that having a child with Down syndrome will force their family learn what true love really is, because the child will only know how to love them. There will be challenges daily. However, you will always receive more than you give! These children have an ability that most do not - they can sense what you need and silently provide it.
