Parents Blogging About Down's Syndrome

For parents of children with Down's Syndrome (also known as Downs Syndrome, Down Syndrome, Trisomy 21, DS, and T21), the world can sometimes seem like a hostile and unsympathetic place.

We are cast alternately as demons, for allowing perceived genetically abnormal people to survive, or as saints doing charitable work.

We are neither.

We are parents.

We do the best for our children whatever their strengths, weaknesses, talents or disabilities, as any parent does. Having a child with Down's Syndrome is no different, other than there are some in the world who would make it more difficult for our children to grow up and lead full and productive lives.

This Lens has been created to give a list of blog sites by parents of children with Down's Syndrome where you will find, for the most part, they are much like any other parenting blogs.

(Entries on my own blog about Down's Syndrome can be found here)

With thanks to the Gifts website for the basis of this list. If you would like me to add any others then please leave a comment and link in the guest book below.

    Hi,
    I'm a mum of a four year old boy with Down syndrome living in Sydney, Australia. I have just started blogging and would love to join your list.

    I am the mother of four children, one of whom has Downs syndrome. All of my children have been precious gifts. My family has been fortunate in that we have had mostly positive reactions to our "special needs" child. Earlier this year, the daughter of an acquaintance gave birth to a beautiful little girl who has Down syndrome. My acquaintance said her daughter's friends openly told her she should have had an abortion. I was shocked to hear that kind of reaction in this day and age. Thank you for this lens and the contacts listed here. I will pass them along.
