My beautiful granddaughter was born seven weeks early and appeared very healthy. Because she was early, she was transported to a neonatal facility for care. While in the hospital she was diagnosed with a heart condition and also tested for downs syndrome. We were so surprised when we were told she has mosaic down syndrome and knew absolutely nothing about it. After about 15 minutes of initial shock, the entire family just looked at each other and said- this changes nothing! God blesses each of us in his own way and she is definitely been our biggest blessing ever. My son and daughter in law immediately hugged each other and stated no tears or sadness - she's perfect the way she is.

We received Emilie's diagnosis after 17 long, frustrating months. I have to say that we were more relieved than upset when we received the diagnosis because it answered our "why" questions.

I was 19 years old and just getting to know my 2 1/2 month old son when I learned I was pregnant again! Uneventful pregnancy. Had all the usual tests including the AFP, and all had normal results. Ultrasounds all looked good and normal.
