This page is the newest stage in my quest to connect, educate and encourage people on the subject of Down syndrome. It is nothing more than a list of the posts I write on the subject, and about life with Julianna–which doesn’t always mean there’s a strong focus on her disability. There’s plenty of information out there for new parents; the trouble is that most of it is impersonal and scary. I hope that this page will help to put a human face on the experience of parenting a young child with Down syndrome. For the highlights, look for the bold-faced posts.
