After working with children w/ all types of disabilities, she said that she would choose Ds over any of them. <br /><br />And, like you, I often wonder what Anna will be like as an adult. I do think, however, that a lot depends on our attitude and our efforts to keep them engaged and in "normal" activity and encourage them to strive for more.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816187144933886978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472224025094243451.post-61652618816769710712010-05-23T11:16:35.845-07:002010-05-23T11:16:35.845-07:00Not too long ago parents with children with DS wer...Not too long ago parents with children with DS were encouraged to send them to institutions when they were young even babies. I know several adults with DS whose families chose to bring them home and give them the best environment and every opportunity that their other children had. Those adults are lively, engaging, generous beautiful people to be around. Just like Ella will be when she grows up!!!<br /><br />Love DeenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472224025094243451.post-39270419081134561962010-05-23T10:29:27.078-07:002010-05-23T10:29:27.078-07:00Oh it looks like she had so much fun!

I would have had the exact same thoughts, Kacey, when seeing the adults and their caregivers... I ran into three adults w/ Ds at a blood draw for Whitney about 6 months ago and couldn't help but feel sad if Whitney would one day seem to be more "out of it" than she is now... right now I feel like she is just so "with it" I can't imagine things changing...<br />anyway - glad you guys had a fun night!!!!! :)Anne and Whitney: Up, Down and All Aroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206805918442920595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472224025094243451.post-68754107247491667922010-05-22T23:16:02.171-07:002010-05-22T23:16:02.171-07:00Oh my goodness... those are some of the cutest pho...Oh my goodness... those are some of the cutest photos ever! LOVE her long pigtails. I know the feeling of seeing adults w/ Ds compared to our kids who are more like typical kids than anything else. I often wonder, too, about their childhood, but it's another reminder that no two people w/ Ds are alike and there's a wide range of abilities among those individuals. I'd say we're pretty fortunate!Monica Crumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292679754594755040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472224025094243451.post-49976990706104345792010-05-22T18:31:37.553-07:002010-05-22T18:31:37.553-07:00I understand why that last pic is your favorite. ...I understand why that last pic is your favorite. It's incredible!!! You have some cute kids, Kacey.<br /><br />I've had similar thoughts when I see adults with DS. It often makes me sad. I have to believe that the opportunities our kids have that they wouldn't have had 30 years ago makes a big difference. I guess we'll find out eventually, huh?Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617791426447246761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7472224025094243451.post-62055086900248109122010-05-22T17:51:26.129-07:002010-05-22T17:51:26.129-07:00Looks like so much fun!Looks like so much fun!Cammie Heflinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843057037279743749noreply@blogger.com
