Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Besides being the father of identical twins with DS, I am the brother of identical twin sisters (who do not have Down syndrome). My mother's health was poor when our sons were born, and she died when my twins were just four years old, so I never had a chance to consult her with about the twin-raising business. As I recall, I don't think raising typical twins was any walk in the park; so that means the DS just makes it a bit wilder. It's hard to imagine about what-if, but I think I can assure you that much of the trouble we have with our twins is because they are twins, nothing more. Al Veerhoff, Kensington, MD, father Will & , 19. Intro Hello, My name is Terri, I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my husband, Dave and two beautiful boys, Cameron who has T21 and just turned 4 and who is "typical" and is 2 1/2. Our baby girl who we learned also has T21 is due Oct. 30. Cameron was born with an AVSD and it was repaired at 3 months. Our baby girl unfortunately has the same heart defect and will also need surgery. Neither my husband nor I are carriers of T21 so we were shocked to find out that this baby also has Down syndrome. I'm glad to be here and would love to "meet" anyone else who has multiples who are not twins and are not adopted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
