Diagnosis

Resources for Expectant Parents

  • Down Syndrome Pregnancy is a program administered by the Human Development Institute at the University of Kentucky to provide honest, compassionate, and informative support for those in post-diagnosis pregnancy or waiting until birth for a confirmed diagnosis.

  • “Light at the End of the Tunnel” (PDF) was written for parents who receive a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The latest format was designed by the NDSC using the original text supplied by the Down Syndrome Association of Orange County (DSAOC). This reprint is made possible though a partnership between NDSC and DSAOC, and through the permission of the author, Linda Chan Rapp.

  • The National Down Syndrome Adoption Network provides information to birth families who may be seeking alternatives to parenting as they prepare for the arrival of their child. Making an adoption plan for a child with Down syndrome is a loving choice and can be the right choice for some families.
