Photos: Mothers and children with Down syndrome
On Mothers Day 2007, I published a photo album of pictures of mothers with children with Down syndrome.
They say every picture tells a story, and I figured these pictures would tell the story better than the thousands of words I've written in an effort to eliminate the fear of Down syndrome and to share the joy and love these special individuals bring to the lives of their families and their communities.
One of the sweetest things I've heard as a blogger - and I've heard it from several moms - is that through reading MommyLife, they've lost their fear of having a baby with Down syndrome. Because our society does so much to build that fear - promoting abortion rather than acceptance - this means so much to me.
Here is the current slideshow:
Or you can access the photo album with captions written by the moms:

| Our Little Extras: Moms Celebrate Down syndrome! |
This has always been an open album - that is, moms have continued to send me pictures to add. As of today there are 110. When I receive a new photo I put it on the cover until the next one comes in.
Please send me yours - and if you know a mom who should be included, pass it on!
