Thanks for checking out today's post. After reading I'd love to hear your thoughts on the comments by clicking here ---> Raising a Child With Down Syndrome All Over The World | Blog Series
We’ve been sharing what life is like raising a child with Down syndrome on this website and social media channels for over six years now! It’s been awesome to see how God has used our story to give people around the globe hope and encouragement.
Over the years we’ve received messages, and have seen posts, from people around the world that are raising a child with Down syndrome and have come across our website / Facebook page. In fact, this afternoon I looked at our website analytics and saw that we have had people from over 225 countries visit our website since we’ve started!
Every place in blue has visited our website!
That’s amazing!
Down Syndrome Around the World
Yesterday, my wife had an amazing idea to have people in other parts of the world share their story of raising a child with Down syndrome! So, we came up with this wild idea to try to get a story of a parent of a child with Down syndrome from every country that’s visited our website in the last 6+ years! (233!)
We live in the United States, therefore our story is told through the lens of a family living in the U.S. Our school system, therapies, day to day activities, traditions, etc., are distinctly American. However, we think it would be awesome to hear other stories, in other countries, told through a different lens.
We would like to use our platform to give other people a platform to tell their story!
Here’s The Plan
We’re looking for families in every one of the countries listed below to do a guest post for us where they share what life is like raising a child with Down syndrome in their country. If you’re interested in being a part of this, all you need to do is fill out the form below letting us know what country you’re from, a little bit about your family, and a short paragraph about why you would like to share your story.
If your story is the one chosen for your country, you’ll be sent an email with some various questions for you to answer that you’ll need to fill out and email back to us, along with a picture. We’ll create a blog post with your story on this blog, share it across our social media channels, and link to it on the list below! (We may even incorporate some other elements, like an Instagram, take over, and/or a Facebook live video with you and your family!)
Please note, once a country’s story is complete, we won’t be accepting any further stories from that country. You’ll know a country’s story is complete once you see it hyperlinked to its corresponding blog post in the list below.
I think this is going to be an amazing project that will help people get a different perspective on what it’s like raising a child with Down syndrome. I’m looking forward to reading (and sharing!) your stories.
If you’re interested in being a part of this project, simply fill out the form below. If you know a parent raising a child with Down syndrome in one of these countries, will you please share this post with them? Thanks!
