Just thought I'd share

As a mom of a beautiful baby girl with Down syndrome, I wanted to share this video that was sent to me today... I think it an older one, but like I said, I just got it to day.... It is so touching......

”i have an insane amount of respect for you to be able to handle that!

Your little girl is gorgeous  

Quoting Ms.Melody:“ i have an insane amount of respect for you to be able to handle that!”

Thanks.. but to be honest it is by God's loving grace that I have been able to be the mom I need to be to my youngest daughter...

Quoting piratetink824:“ Your little girl is gorgeous  ”

Thank you... she looks just like her daddy did when he was a baby.... actually kind of spooky how much... lol

My computer won't let me play the video, but your daughter is a cutie!!

Your daughter is such a doll!

Ahh I had to stop watching it... It was too much!

Ugh.. wow that made me cry!  

But your daughter is gorgeous btw 

My sound is off, is there a song playing or someone talking on the video?

Thanks for sharing the video 
Your daughter is beautiful!

beautuful video! Your little girl is such a cutie! 
One of my friend's brother has D.S. and he is just incridable! He cracks me up all the time!

It's kinda of ironic... I never (and I admit, selfishly) gave a second thought to kids with special needs before my daughter. I had never really met any adults with any kind of disability. Anytime the opportunity arose, I would kind of shy away and instead of doing the right thing, I would kid myself into thinking that it was out respect for their privacy. When in all actuality, I was scared. You see, I suffer from a very, very comunicable and disatrous disease.. I'm not sure if this is the technical term but I call in it "foot-in-mouth-itis". And I was always afraid I would say, do or look the wrong way and hurt their feelings.

Now I find myself introducing myself to adults or parents of kids with Ds or other disabilities and doing the right thing. I have become very involved in the Ds community here and have even become a volunteer for one of the organizations here in San Diego. My daughter has not only opened my eyes but my heart to my selfishness and had made me a better human being.

Just goes to show how else the powerfulness of the birth of your child can be.

There is a song playing.... Josh Grobin singing "Believe"

That's awesome. I was kind of the same way until I got a job at college working in the freshman cafeteria. There were 7-8 special needs adults who were always working in the dishroom. They were, hands down, the funnest people to be around. I'm still shy around special needs people, but I try to get out of my comfort zone and interact with them more.
