I just wrote an article to David regarding Freaks on Parade on my blog. I was inspired by my love for my daugther and a love for all children with DS and others with "disabilities."
You have made me realize that ugly and bias situations exists. I will speak.
Daniel Niblock is a graphic artist and animator who lives in Durham, North Carolina. On July 14, 2008, he became the proud father of his second child: Ozzie, a 4 lb., 11 oz. baby boy. Ozzie has Down syndrome. This blog chronicles the bewildering experience of stepping into a topsy-turvy new world. It began as a place where family and friends could come to read words that were too difficult to speak aloud. It has transformed into a place where people can read about discovery, strength and love. Hopefully these collected reflections can help others find the way out of the darkness and into the light.

Again, thank you for starting this.
I'm happy to report that the website "pray4trig" disappeared :)
sorry!, the website is back, looks like it was having technical difficulties ;(. It may disappear soon...
link updated. Thanks for setting up this site.
I think you guys have issues. What about your other children, have you forgotten about them? Aren't they just as special?
And what gives you any indication that we don't love our other children?
To MaryAllen (anonymous)... first off you have the wrong blog. I am November not Dan (Alpha). So you are attempting to slam the wrong person.
Just because you think your sister (who dotes on and considers her child with Ds to be a miracle) is a lousy parent doesn't mean any of us are.
