When you learn that someone you love is expecting a baby with Down syndrome, you naturally have concerns, and wonder what to say and do. This book will help you through your initial, normal reactions of sadness, shock, and worry, and give you the information and perspective you need to welcome a baby with Down syndrome. It covers:
"After learning that our soon to be granddaughter has Down syndrome, we have gradually moved from disbelief to acceptance and joy, awaiting eagerly to meet this welcomed addition to our family. [Your Loved One is Having a Baby with Down Syndrome] moved me to tears as I allowed my heart to feel and understand about this precious gift that is about to enter our lives. As a NICU Neonatal Nurse Practitioner who has cared for many babies born with Down syndrome, I look forward to sharing this booklet of hope and invaluable resources with other family members of patients." --Colleen Young, Step-mom to Melanie Peters and soon to be grandmom to baby girl Peters |
