Scared New Mom Receives Touching Advice From Kids With Down Syndrome

These kids have a message for a scared mom-to-be: “Don’t worry.”

The message was in response to a mother’s heartfelt email to the Italian Down syndrome advocacy group Coor Down. She sent it in February after learning that her child will be born with Down syndrome as well.

“I’m expecting a baby,” the mother wrote in the email. “I’ve discovered he has Down syndrome. I’m scared: What kind of life will my child have?”

The 15 kids assure her that he’ll be able to speak, go to school, rent, love and be happy. “Together we can make it possible,” the ad reads at the end.

Coor Down’s heartfelt message comes just in time for World Down Syndrome Day, which is observed on March 21 every year.

  1. True – don’t worry and stay open to the possibilities. A friend of mine has a Down Syndrome daughter and was inspired to use her physiology expertise to develop a program which amazingly supports her daughter’s development. Now my friend is helping many.
