Introducing the Parents of Children Born with Down Syndrome Facebook Group

Thanks for checking out today's post. After reading I'd love to hear your thoughts on the comments by clicking here ---> Introducing the Parents of Children Born with Down Syndrome Facebook Group

This Facebook group already has over 2,000 members. Come join us!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over six years since I started our blog, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter accounts. It’s been such an encouragement to me seeing so many of your emails, comments, Facebook messages, etc. This community is so supportive of me and so kind to our family, thank you for sticking with us as we have shared our story.

As of today, our Facebook page has over 250,000 “likes.” As great as that is, it’s hard to build an online community through that page. I share posts, and so many of you comment back…but you aren’t able to really ask questions to other parents, get encouragement from others, or share your story with others. To put it another way, you “get” to hear from me, but you don’t get to connect with other parents.

I hope to change that.

Last week I created the “Parents of Children Born with Down Syndrome” Facebook group, and it already has 2,000 members! The group hasn’t even been active for a week, and I’m already so encouraged by the online community that is forming.

If you’re a parent of a child of Down syndrome, I encourage you to click here to become a member of that group and be a part of this special place we are creating.

5 Reasons a Facebook Group for Parents of Children with Down Syndrome is Awesome!

1. New parents can get support from other parents. Check out this post from a mom who received a prenatal diagnosis! (Just look at how much support she has received. I love this!)

2. Parents can ask questions and get help from other parents.

5. You know you aren’t alone! Seriously, my Facebook feed has been filling up with pictures of people sharing pictures of their family. You realize there are people with Down syndrome all over the globe, and it’s awesome! If you think you’re alone on this journey, you aren’t!

These are just a few of the reasons why you should join our Facebook group. If you’re a parent of a chid with Down syndrome, and haven’t joined the group yet, I hope you’ll join, and share you’re story. There is a community of parents waiting to meet you!
