I received this in an email today and thought it is a great message! Wanted to pass along and say Happy World Down Syndrome Day to everyone! Thanks for helping to make this world a better place for Meg, Alina, and all the others who have a little extra something special.
"Today is World Down Syndrome Day - a day to consider the lives of people who have Down syndrome, wherever they live. Around the world, 225,000 babies will be born with Down syndrome this year. 206,000 of these babies will be born in developing countries. Almost all of the 200,000 children who will be born with Down syndrome in high income countries during the next decade will survive to adulthood. They will receive knowledgeable medical care, additional educational support and live in societies that have become, and continue to become, more welcoming and inclusive. These children can now look forward to richer and more fulfilling lives lasting in excess of 60 years."
