Annie's necklace project

Take a moment to check out Annie's blog.

She created a necklace for the IDSC 

(International Down Syndrome Coalition for Life.) 

It's a necklace to help raise awareness.  

As it turns out, 90% of babies diagnosed with DS prenatally 

are terminated. 

 IDSC has a mission. 

 They want people to know that ALL life is precious. 

 It is also a support system 

for those that chose to end their pregnancy, 

to educate and heal,

 not condemn.

  Down Syndrome is just a diagnosis, 

it does not define the person.

We want to change steroetypes

about children with DS and their abilities.

We expect great things from our Ollie.

We are not setting any limitations.

Her life will have joy and purpose.

She is as worthy of life as anyone else.

She is different but by no means less.

She is going to shoot for the moon

and even if she lands in the stars instead,

it will be a life we celebrate.

She is a gift who just happens to have DS.

I am so proud of her and her mama.
