Welcome Expectant and New Parents!
We welcome expectant parents to our organization and hope you will contact us to
offer you support. Receiving a prenatal diagnosis that your baby will have
Down syndrome can be overwhelming. We have compiled some resources to help
you make an informed decision regarding your pregnancy.

together just for new parents. It provides many key pieces of information
including Healthcare Guidelines, Local Resources Family Experiences and more.
