[Guest guest]

Hello and family. Welcome! My name is Joyce and my husband of almost 34 years is Mike. We have seven children and three of them have Down Syndrome. We moved from Oak Hills, California, to Ohio almost 3 years ago. I have been in Yorba , in fact, my 's early intervention help that came to our home, was from Yorba . (that's when we lived in Pomona). It's such a lovely area! There are so many on this site who have identical twins with DS and some have families have more than one DS child. It is fun to hear all the different stories and to even help each other with different difficulties that we may face. I'm sure it's a matter of time, and you will meet someone close to you! Anyways, I just want to welcome you! We thank God for His wonderful gift's that He has given us, as each one is so precious and we have grown so close as a family and our kids have taught us so much love. Take care and we look forward to knowing more about you all!

Hello everyone, my name is and my husbands name is Vince. We are blessed w/ twin girls Leah and who have DS. They are 10 1/2 mos old and are the love and joy of our family. They have an older sis Hayley who's 12 and brother Vince 8. We live in Yorba , CA. We've joined and gone to a couple meetings at our support group DSAOC and are the only family, they know of, that have multiple kids w/ DS. That bothered me a bit. They can all relate to us in the fact that every one there has a child w/ DS but I always felt my family was in a group all on our own because we have 2. I've been praying we would know of or find a family in our same situation. I was surfing the web one night and decided to look around. That's when I was led to this web site and got so excited I wanted to join in right away. I'm an RN and work mid shift 12pm- 12am so I really don't have a whole lot of time to sit and email people. But for this group I'll make an exception, hehe. I"m wondering if there are any families in this group who live close, I would love to get together and just talk. Either way, I'm just glad I found you guys!!!
