This post has been all over Facebook, so you may have seen it already.
But if you haven't read it, please take a minute to do so.
When we found out Claire had Ds, this is what I was worried about. People who would take one look at her, and instantly write her off.
And while things won't change over night, I rejoice each time someone really does learn something about Down syndrome.
Love how things become viral in FB communities. I loved this post. It really made me think. Glad you put it up on your blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, I hadn't read this! If only more people could take that experience and learn from it. So many other people would still brush them off! If only there was a way to make everyone in the world read this post!

ReplyDeleteThis was my fear and sadness about Kaylen- not that she had Ds, but how the world would see her (or rather, NOT see her). His honesty made me smile, so I had to post it to my fb. Thanks for sharing! :)
