New Parents
Welcome—and congratulations on your new son or daughter with Down syndrome! As a new parent you are often times faced with new concerns and challenges. You will get through it! You will soon begin to realize first and foremost you are a new parent of a beautiful baby. We will provide you with accurate and timely information about what Down syndrome is so you can make educated choices in the days to come. At your request we can connect you with other parents who also have been standing in your shoes.
Just like all babies, your baby needs you for your guidance, your safe-keeping and, most importantly, your nurturing love. We realize that with the birth of your child with Down syndrome, you may have entered into a whole new world – one that can be confusing and filled with conflicting emotions at first. It is our hope that through information and support, you will be able to gain an understanding of your feelings, of your baby’s unique needs, and of the love your baby has to offer.
We would consider it an honor and a privelege to be a resource to you and your family.
