I ...Your original post was fine so don't sweat it. I happen to know that Brad Pitt was just photographed with a lovely little girl with Down syndrome for a Down Syndrome group's annual calendar. So, that would make him super prepared to welcome a genetically enhanced baby should one or both of the twins have Down syndrome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428837015272859930.post-79866903263373014082008-06-14T08:35:00.000-04:002008-06-14T08:35:00.000-04:00Rude comments come from people who see their glass...Rude comments come from people who see their glass half empty and not half full. Our world is what we make of it. We can sit in the corner and cry about what we don't have or we can celebrate each day because of what we DO HAVE.Preppy Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195405824651849370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428837015272859930.post-26975586794124844052008-06-13T23:11:00.000-04:002008-06-13T23:11:00.000-04:00Laurie, as a mother who has a child with Down synd...Laurie, as a mother who has a child with Down syndrome, I want you to know that I understand your post completely!<BR/><BR/>No one knows what it is like to love a child with Ds until they have had one of their own.<BR/><BR/>These kids are AWESOME! <BR/><BR/>I still have a problem with my son's diagnosis. Not because of who he is or what effect he has had on my other children because he has had an incredibly beautiful and positive influence on my daughters.<BR/><BR/>My problem stems from the way the rest of the world treats/views with Ds. I see my beautiful, innocent child who smiles easily and laughs often and I see the rest of the world, mean, arrogant, self absorbed and I get so afraid to send my child out into this world.<BR/><BR/>I believe if Brangelina had a child with Ds. They would see what we know to be true and given their influence and celebrity, they would help the rest of the world see it too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057578956144840305noreply@blogger.com
