boyfriend.Being downs she is haveing trouble finding the right guy.She has high

morals wants to be married first so she has lost a couple of young men that

way.How do I make her understand it will take time and then you still might not

meet mister right.

That is tough. I would imagine that the more " events " she attends or interests

that she becomes involved in... just like anyone else... is the best thing to do

and just keep telling her that she is worth so much that to wait and see what

happens is best.

I am interested to hear from those with older children on this matter, because I

think about it... even though we are far from it. Time goes so fast!

One thing that I have felt is that if I expect mine to meet someone... then I am

going to have to be busy with activities and perhaps traveling to events further

from home in order to help him meet more people with Down Syndrome. Or maybe

just someone at his level of maturity and mental development? I guess I just

have always thought that he would be happiest if he found a girl with Down

Syndrome! Is that presumptuous of me? And then if he meets someone... making

the time and finances available to travel and be friends with that person and

their family. Wouldn't it be even more important in this situation to get along

with each others families???? Our children are not as likely to meet someone

next door, you know?

Just chiming in.... I know that I haven't been there yet. Hope no one minds too

much!
