I'm not sure what all to say. Your family is so beautiful, and you are a strong mommy who I know will fight for her baby girl. Sending you a big hug

Hugs to you. I am very sorry about the results. There is definitely a reason she is your daughter. Someone knew she needed a strong and loving mommy to love her and take care of her. My prayers are with you.

I am sorry that you have this bad news to deal with. And the worst part, I think, is the unknowns. I remember when our son with Down syndrome was born and I learned about his disability. I grieved--in fact--went into kind of a depression for at least a month afterward--(my dh told me to "quit feeling sorry for myself"--we laugh about that now!) but I really did feel the loss of all the things I thought he might become and fear for what he might have to face. It was probably the lowest point of my life.

Fast forward fifteen years--my son has had challenges, and we've had to work harder than with my "typical" kids, but even now he has achieved far more than I ever dreamed he would be capable of in those days. I have gotten to see God step in and work in his life and provide for him in ways that I could not have imagined. And when I think about his future now, it is with great hope, not despair.

I am praying for comfort and encouragement for you, and for reassurance about your daughter's future.

Carolyn
