For new and expecting parents

You’re not alone, we’re here to support you

There are more than 250,000 individuals with Down syndrome in the United States, and it occurs in approximately one in every 758 live births, which means you’re not alone. Welcoming a baby into the world is a beautiful celebration of life, but receiving a prenatal or postnatal Down syndrome diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. It may leave you with more questions than answers, but we’re here to help—supporting and connecting you to a caring community to navigate this experience.
