Dear future mom: A message of hope from children with Down syndrome
One pregnant mother recently discovered her future son would have Down syndrome. She sent an email to CoorDown, an Italian organization that advocates for children with Down syndrome, looking for help with the anxiety she felt.
Here was their response.
Fifteen people with Down syndrome tell her that her son will be able to:
Go to school
Fix a bike
Run to you
Hug you
Love you.
Sometimes it will be difficult. Very difficult. Almost impossible.
But isn’t it like that for all mothers?
Dear future mom,
Your child can be happy, just like I am, but you’ll be happy too.
Right, Mom?
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is March 21st in order to raise awareness of trisomy 21, the genetic term for babies who inherit an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
Nine out of ten babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in the United States are not given the same opportunities you and I have. They are aborted.
On this day around the world, individuals with Down syndrome and those who live and work with them organize events to raise awareness and advocate for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome.
Join them on Facebook and Twitter. And if you have a message of hope for future moms, share it! Use #DearFutureMom.
