I had my daughter at 44!! Yes, I had an AMIOCENTIS TO SEE IF SHE WOULD HAVE SNY ISSUES!! My sons were 18 and 16 and it wouldn’t be fair to them if she had downs and they would have to be her caregiver for the rest of her life!! Hod blessed me and she was a happy healthy girl!! But for me women should be able to decide for their own bodies and not have the Supreme Court decide for them!! They should NOT HAVE THAT ABILITY!!!

I’m 64 I’ve had a 6 1/2 year old little boy since he was 3. I never thought I would start over at my age but he was in a terrible situation and got him out of it. He is my world. I go to court today for adoption please everyone pray for us that it goes through. His biological mother is in jail again on drugs has never had a stable home the child until I took him. I have permanent guardianship over him but she’s wanting to fight the adoption no home no job and prostitute’s sells drugs and steals. He has been through so much and is so happy now he’s at peace and loves us to death never wants to leave. Prayers Please🙏🏼

Down's kids are the most loving Earth Angel's around. It's most normal kids that end up hateful, selfish, spoiled, and disrespectful to their own folks. Absolutely, nobody is better than another, no matter what age or disability. 🤔🌸

Not true. Age makes no difference in having a normal kid vs Down Syndrome kid.

That's such a freaking ignorant comment. I was seventeen when I got pregnant with my son who has down syndrome and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world!

Wait! What is wrong with Downs Syndrome? Some may be disabled, but they typically are the kindest most heartfelt people that exist. ❤️

I fostered and then adopted my great nephews. I was 48 with the first. He was 3 when he first came to me. The second was an infant, and I was 56. I'm 66, and they are 22 and 10 now. I have plans for their care if I die. But, they are my joy. 👍

They are both lovely! Why are women dogged out for having children later in life? They were created for that very thing. I'm not getting the hate. By the way , children with Downs Syndrome are born to young and older parents alike! FACT! Enjoy your life and your beautiful little girls' .

My parents had me at 50 years old in 1958. I survived and seem to be normal (some would probably disagree with that).
