Title: Not to be given the day that you give birth
Product review: I was handed this book the day that my daughter was born, when the doctor's suspected she had Down Syndrome. This book is informative to all the future obstacles that "may" be faced, but not something to hand to a new mother. I found this book to be very depressing and had to put it out of sight for several months. Even when a typical child is born, we don't know what types of medical issues that are going to be faced with, or the difficulties each family will have due to that child. I feel that this book focuses too much on the negative impact of Down Syndrome and not enough of how much enjoyment and happiness will be brought when each milestone is met. We are not even told that our children will meet all milestones just "possibly" at a slower pace. Babies with Down Syndrome can't be sterotyped, they will all fare differently since their genetics are all different, some smarter than others etc.
