“And We’re Testing Your Son for Down Syndrome...”

From the moment Kathy heard the doctor’s casual comment, her life was thrust into the reality of having a special needs child. This is her family’s story of having a son Matthew born with Down syndrome.

The fact that she was a special education teacher did not prepare her for the challenges the family would face. Nor the joy that could reside alongside the struggles.

Matt’s story reveals the unique trials of Down syndrome. And alongside it, the treasure of relationships, working, dating—all the normal and sweet things of life. You’ll discover how Matt taught everyone around him to see through the eyes of unconditional love. Many lives were blessed with the birth of Matt and yours will be too. The book also provides references and resources for the reader.
