Acording to the Recent test in October edition of the American Journal of Medical Genetics:
among siblings ages 12 and older, 97 percent expressed feelings of pride about their brother or sister with Down syndrome and 88 percent were convinced they were better people because of their sibling with Down syndrome.
I can say, I fully agree with that one! I do believe Sarah has made me who I am because of that extra chromosome. She just feels like a normal part of our family! But if someone thinks the child will be a burden to the siblings just look at this. If my Mom had thought that about Sarah, all of us in our family would not be who we are today.
