Cousin's New Baby Has down Syndrome
After a difficult pregnancy and an emergency c-section, my cousin gave birth to a son w/Down Syndrome. They did not know ahead of time that he had it, so they are in shock. To anyone out there who has a baby with DS, or is close to someone with DS, what kind of support, both emotional and practical, can I offer them? They are completely unprepared and uneducated. For example, my cousin was asking the doctor what she did during her pregnancy to "make" the baby have DS. They have no money, this was an unplanned pregnancy, I could go on...
