Hi...How can you not love any child let alone Quinn. His picture is anything but ugly. His face is full of life, light, love and purpose. His smile alone fills and warms my heart. You've been given a special task when you gave birth to this bundle of joy you named Quinn. Everyone isn't capable of raising a special needs child. It takes qualities above and beyond and I imagine that it can be quite challenging. It is a blessing and an honor that was given to you and you have obviously stepped up and made this little blessing smile that wondrous smile, and beam that illuminating light. The love you and your loved ones bestow upon him will mold him into such an incredible person. What a blessing, a purpose you have been given in life. Quinn's eyes beam, his smile is infectious and it moves me just from his pictures. I can only imagine what type of happiness he could bring to ones daily existence by just being in his presence. Your son is beautiful, and your love and dedication to raising, protecting, loving and keeping him lifted from the cruelty and mean spirited people in this world is inspiring. What more can I say. Thank you for sharing his light.Darlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842786569871441258.post-32748082774736237892016-10-13T07:54:56.397-07:002016-10-13T07:54:56.397-07:00I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this co...I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this comment, but the negativity is palpable and indicative of your own personal issues in this area. Perhaps you're struggling to cope with a past decision? Or perhaps you've witnessed the challenges that special needs parents face daily? I've never denied that raising a child with Ds is difficult, but it's worth every second and I wouldn't trade Quinn for the world or change who he is, 47 chromosomes and all. This post was written to help parents coping with a new diagnosis to find hope in what, at the time, is a scary future. Please don't rob them of that opportunity with your pessimism. I hope you find the peace within yourself to make better use of your time than to troll special needs blogs.

I think people with Down Syndrome are exactly like everyone else in that area, some do and some don't. Now, my daughters boyfriend, he also has Ds and HE lights up a room! They make a great team!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760897671143549963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842786569871441258.post-41829028610368576522016-05-31T21:50:45.829-07:002016-05-31T21:50:45.829-07:00I don't normally follow blogs because I find m...I don't normally follow blogs because I find most of the information to be opinion based, but I have never read anything more true. I myself do not have a child with down syndrome but I have experienced many of the things you talk about through my best friend. She and I met in kindergarten we are both 19 now. Growing up with her I saw everything you described and more. She is special and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I will never forget the day we became best friends for one because she will never let me and for two because it changed my life. This information will be helpful to any parent expecting a child with down syndrome. So thank you!Ivynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842786569871441258.post-20488054220796658792016-05-31T14:22:21.568-07:002016-05-31T14:22:21.568-07:00The sentence under his picture says it all...

Your words of wisdom are surely comforting to any parent embarking on this journey. Side note I love seeing their pictures on Instagram. I can tell Quinn lights up a room like no other. As a former preschool teacher I would of loved to have him in my class over and over. He would of helped me lead Bear Hunt most days! ��Crystal Ackermannoreply@blogger.com
