Let me also say that my oldest was born with Down syndrome. Despite a bunch of medical issues, her "disability" of having Down syndrome has not stopped her from becoming a beautiful and wonderful young lady. She's now 21 and has a great quality of life.
And...seven years after I had her, I went on to have a healthy baby girl, with no problems, who now, at the age of 14, simply has a smart mouth due to being a teenager. She makes the Distinguished Honor Roll every marking period in school and is in all advanced, honors classes.
I wouldn't lose all hope yet. I was 24 when I had my first one and 31 when I had my second one.
Hugs, my friend.
I've seen pictures of your daughter and she is beautiful. If I may ask, when/how did you find out she had Downs? And how did you handle it emotionally?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
