I don't know if this is allowed, or the right place. My post isn't about Disney but I know the Disboard members are a supportive group and so I came here.
We just recently found out that we are having a baby with down syndrome join our family. My little sister is due with a baby boy in mid-Sept. She just called me to explain that they've been going through some testing and have been told there is a 99% chance that my nephew will be born with this disorder. (They have decided against amniocentesis, so they can't say for 100%)
I honestly don't know much of anything about it and I am scared to just start Googling. Where do you even start when you get that kind of news? Does anyone know any good resources?
My sister lives across the country from us (she is in CA and we are in VA) and every time I have talked to her the last couple of days she has just ended up in sobs. I feel helpless to comfort her. I just don't know where to start.
I don't know what the point of my post is, I guess I am just rambling sorry. But I would appreciate any insight you all might have.
