None of my kids are Downs Syndrome but I did had a good deal of contact with Downs Syndrome adults at the hospital where I worked (our hospital didn't have a pediatrics service so we didn't see any afflicted kids).Although all of the ones I had contact with were at least somewhat ill...if not very ill...I found them to be gentle people with sweet dispositions.Almost childlike,in fact.
Yes,having a Downs Syndrome child could,I'm sure,be a challenge but given their basic nature I'll bet that the rewards could easily outweigh the challenges.

That’s true for the most part. I have seen several tragic cases where very elderly parents were getting assaulted by their now middle aged Downs children who had violent tempers and could not be controlled. It was a heartbreaking situation. The “ kids” eventually ended up in group homes.
