“Sadly, many parents are given the worst-case scenarios by doctors and practitioners when encountering chromosome issues or disabilities, and they are encouraged to make choices that have lifelong impact.
Although hearing any news other than a clear bill of health is terrifying, my friends and I want to encourage parents to give us a chance. Our parents and siblings will tell you how much we have blessed and enriched their lives no matter how long!”- Abel
