He is beautiful. Yes, he's perfect. He won't be judgmental. He will love freely. He will bring out the best in you, and sometime, along the way, you will realize you are a better person because of him. The job for now? Simply love him. So easy! My son with Down's is now 37 yrs old! He opens people's hearts. He has a part time job, friends, his own apartment (though he stays with me most of the week). Welcome to this special "club"! It's a challenging, heart opening, and life changing journey! You've been blessed!
Sending big, and little, hugs!
@@ssmith3513 Beautifully said 🫶😌 Sending hugs to you and your son!
That’s it! I hope your son is being paid a competitive salary and not sub minimum wage. We have a real problem in this country with people with cognitive disabilities though some others as well being exploited by places like Goodwill and others who pay them below minimum wage simply because they’re disabled.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! JESUS IS SO GOOD! 💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊✝🕎

I’ve never heard a story like this and a mom being so transparent about her and her family’s journey!!
@@omaristorres-frey3214 Yes, we really admire their transparency and honesty. It’s going to help a lot of people
I grew up with a sibling born severely disabled. This baby would've been a cakewalk compared to her. She was the number 3 of 4 children, and growing up with her brought shame and sadness; as kids, we didn't know how to deal with the questions, stress of constant care, and stares. Growing up, she taught me to respect differences and love God's children regardless of the package.
@@carolyn4realife Thank you for sharing ❤️ Everyone needs to know that kind of love that you share with your sister.
I was thinking the children are lucky that the mother doesn't freak out with everything he does. The sister doesn't feel like she has to keep him from getting into "trouble".
He is adorable. I am a teacher, and I taught a Down syndrome student in middle school. He was wonderful, and all the kids loved him. He has graduated and went to Prom. He did everything all the other kids did. His mom wanted him to be held to high expectations just like everyone else. You got this girl. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Your little man is very beautiful!!❤❤❤

Your son is truly handsome. My story: My son was born with cataract behind is left eye. Consequently he is unable to see from it. I was sad for him and myself when I found out few weeks after birth that something was wrong. I found out before the doctor. Test revealed that he wasn’t seeing from that eye. He was not treated differently from my other children. As time goes by we promoted him to have confidence in himself. I told him there are no limitations unless he limits himself. In his teenage years he asked me who is going to love him? I told him love is from within. That he first has to love himself. My son finished college he is working as a social worker. He is married to his wonderful wife. He is the father of three girls and two boys. Mom and Dad may God see you through your journey. Keep loving on your son. Self confidence starts in the home.
@@novletmills9244 Wow thank you for sharing the story of you and your son and your family. So beautifully written. Thank you for the encouragement and wisdom ❤
He is a precious little gift from God. May He flourish in life.
Both of your children are beautiful.

That is such a CUTE baby! What a doll. I’ve noticed that most people with Down syndrome are incredibly sweet, kind, gentle, intelligent and so loving!❤
@@mariegarrett5204 YES! Have a happy day, friend 🤗
They are some of the sweetest children. I have ever seen so full of love .
Beautiful story, I too am a Mom of a very special 37 year old young man. I’m here to let you know, there is so much life after giving birth to a very special child. Just know he chose you all & that’s what’s really special. My son definitely has given me the patience I really needed. God Bless🙏🏾💙

I appreciate you sharing your personal GROWTH Journey! The inner principles you are sharing are principles for life!
He’s soooo cute! Beautiful family!
@@lorrainesmith1275 Yes! Such a beautiful family 🫶
Society tells everyone to abort babies with down syndrome, but I've found that whenever I'm around somebody with this condition, I can't stop smiling, my day is brightened, and they give me a different perspective on life...they are truly a gift from God!!!
Thank you for sharing Cole! We completely agree and relate!
I've never known 'society' to tell anyone to abort a baby with down syndrome. Maybe back in the day but back in the day any child not 'normal' was discouraged partly based on not knowing how to deal with the complications and partly because the financial burden could devastate a family. We know much more about the condition now and society is adjusting to those who do not fit their view of 'normal'. Humans are still evolving.
Absolutely!
@@TH-eb5romy boss was offered that option 15 years ago. She was not interested in abortion.
🔥🔥🔥
I can’t with the cuteness. I want to give him a real big 🤗 hug. So stinking adorable.❤️

@@andreaknowles2660 That is amazing! Sending hugs to you and your son 🤗
The extra he has is cuteness 💕
That's the truth!
What a precious beautiful baby boy!
🥰
Children with DS are very loving, sweet, and have great personalities. Parents can still do a lot with their newborn son as he grows up. The baby boy is a huge blessing who will teach the parents so much about adversity, love, challenges, strength, courage, joy, laughter, happiness, etc.
He is so adorable and you have nothing to worry about. Keep smiling and teaching him. And most of all, keep God in your life. ❤❤❤
@@violawilliamson49 🥰🤗
He is absolutely beautifully perfect. Blessings to you all. ❤

He's a precious little adorable guy. Bless you all.
I was welling up too !!! he’s beautiful and has two beautiful amazing parents ❤
@@dialemmaz That’s right, beautiful family 🫶
@@StoriesMadeWithLove yes sorry missed beautiful sister Milah I wrote comment before she appeared…
Young moms have Down babies. It’s not just an age problem. Don’t blame yourself!! Look at that smile!❤
It’s true. I know two personally. Had them in their 20s with young dads
That's true. It's more prevalent in women over 35 and older fathers
You and your husband are amazing for accepting and loving, your beautiful son.. The power of love conquers all. Your son will grow into a greater human, because of your love and acceptance. I recently saw a young man just like your son propose to his girlfriend. It was so beautiful to watch. I pray that your family will continue with devine blessings ❤
What a great attitude for these parents they are very special people to be so loving to this child!!!
They are going to be great parents!!!
He is adorable.
Precious Angel.
I love the heart and mindset of these parents! Wow!
@@ClintSnyder Thanks for checking out this story! We love them too ❤️
He’s a gorgeous baby so beautiful. My Daughter was born with a Chromosome missing which makes her small she’s 50 now works hard if she was born today her height could be increased but we have never treated her any differently to her sister. Enjoy your little boy he will be so loving & enjoy giving you lots of hugs & love. Sending hugs to you all. ❤🇬🇧

You are so right your baby is your baby God give you this child for a reason
Savoy is an adorable baby boy. He’s so photogenic. I love his picture so much. That beautiful smile that he has, just warms your heart; I couldn’t describe which one of his pictures I like best; first I chose the one in the maroon shirt, then when I saw the rest of the pictures I love them all. I looked at his pictures and it brings a smile to my face. Thank you mom and dad for letting me get to know your little baby boy. Greetings from USA
What a beautiful family. Mom so reminds me of my daughter and son-in-law who also went through all the emotions, fears, and uncertainty of having a baby with DS; their only daughter. Like this Mom, she researched all the services, doctors, schools, etc. available to our princess to make her life and the family's life as normal as any other birth. Sadly, our baby girl passed away suddenly, just shy of 6 months after contracting the RSV virus while still in the hospital from her pre-term birth. I pray this family love on their journey with all the normalcy and joy this perfect little one brings to the family. Congratulations!!
I’m sorry for your loss. Sending our love to you and your family ❤️ Thank you for sharing about your sweet princess 👼❤️
My son is 32. He has a job, many friends, and a full life. He is kind, caring, and productive. I wouldn’t trade him for the world! Enjoy your baby!!
Your life will
Be wonderful. Your baby is beautiful and so are you!
@@DavidRichman-x2j Thank you for this incredible comment! Sending love to you and your amazing son ❤️❤️❤️

@@dianesquires9987 He sure is 🫶
You are blessed to be so positive at this early stage of your son's life. The best is yet to come. My 8 year old grandson is a DS child. There is never a dull moment around him. Everyone seems to know him--parents, teachers, older students and his classmates. He is outgoing and adventurous. I didn't know what to expect when he was born. My daughter has a chat link of his shenanigans! We look forward to his exploits. Keep enjoying your son and your relationships as a family!

@@kimgrey9454 Aw we love to hear about your son! Sending our love ❤️
I had my son at 35. We took the test too. Ours was with a needle. They and Keshawn would most likely have down syndrome. I didn't worry either. I kept in prayer. He was born perfect and special. He had heart issues but over came that too. I love y'all stay blessed. 😍
He's beautiful and has two great parents ALL babies are special ~ : )
Your baby is here , he has changed your life..!!
They have so much love to give you both.

He is adorable, my granddaughter has autism and my son’s neighbor told him I commend you for staying around and not leaving your family. My son was like why would I leave my family because my daughter is Autistic. And his neighbor said a lot of guys do. But to us we just love her for who she is a smart, beautiful lovely little girl that just learns things different.

Honey, All babies are special. He is so beautiful and such a blessing. You will find he will be such a precious and loving boy. God gives special children to special parents and families. Look at that wonderful sweet smile. He will always be a happy special child. Just take one day at time. ❤❤❤😇😇😇❤️❤️
I appreciate the honesty of the parents. I have wondered all of my life how parents feel about their newborn 47 chromosome. I think she explained the emotional process eloquently. Although, not all parents go through the same emotions, I imagine quite a few find themselves running the emotional gamut. Savoy is adorable and Milah are adorable.
Yes he will be ok his sister is going to be a big help❤❤❤❤❤
You have a wonderful special baby...you will find joy with him ❤
Beautiful family. ❤

I am 52 now and I have a brother who is 58 and has autism. My mother was my first example of how to treat someone who is supposed to be different so I was floored when I experienced people being ignorant and negative towards people who have an exceptionality. My mom and my brother were my influence to become a special educator. I had the pleasure of being over a special education department in which there was a student who had DS. When I tell you he gave me joy everyday when he greeted me… his joy at seeing me like he had been waiting all morning to just greet me was indeed priceless and helped me to get through many a bad day.

He’s just precious and he will be whatever he wants to be regardless of his special circumstances. I have a 19 year old grandson who has autism and he is nonverbal. When we found out that he was special we were absolutely broken. This child brought more joy to our lives than anyone can imagine. He graduated high school this past spring and with a class of 250 students he and three other students were special and all of them received a standing ovation when they walked . That graduation ceremony was so special for these special kiddos.

On the one hand I’ve always felt that Downes people have some sort of special sense that allows them to see what we “mortals” cannot. It’s almost as if they see beyond the veil. That they understand what’s important on a higher level than we ever could. On the other hand, every one of us in this entire universe is different. Even identical twins aren’t head to toe, inside and out, mirror images. He is himself; he is your son; he is beautiful.
