This is a Thing from a woman who chose to adpt a child with Down Syndrome

And what have you accomplished lately?

I have learned to never assume what people are thinking when they stare. One time a couple was staring at Mikey in the mall and I thought they were appauled by him. I found out through the grapevine a few weeks later that they had just found out that they were having a child with Down syndrome and were thinking to terminate their pregnancy because they thought children with Down syndrome didn’t walk or talk. Then they saw Mikey toddling around the mall and signing to answer questions when he was about 1.5 years old and they decided to proceed with their pregnancy.
