"Y" is for Down syndrome

Yes

I'll be honest when we first found out the results of the amnio, 'yes' may not have rolled right off of my tongue. There were so many questions that I needed to be understand, before getting to 'yes'. But it did not take long....and ever since saying yes and recognizing that despite all the challenges that raising a child with special needs will take, we have not looked back.

Sure there will be times along the way that may cause us to doubt for a little bit, but we will remind ourselves that we can do this. We made a commitment earlier this year to unconditionally love Camden Grace no matter what life throws at us. Having that conviction to say 'yes', when many people in our shoes would've said no, makes me very proud of the genuine love and support that is in our hearts to raise our special little girl.

Saying yes sometimes may not be easy, but saying yes to a difficult change can provide a lifetimes of riches.
