In this episode I talk with Kileen McDonald as she shares her struggles with infertility, her subsequent adoption of a beautiful baby boy with Down syndrome and her greatest joy in being a mom to her now 13 year old son, Ches.  Kileen also discusses the death of her spouse, Pam and talks about lovingly helping Ches process everything during those difficult days.

Kileen believes in educating yourself about your child’s diagnosis but encourages parents to make sure to get your education from the right sources.   NDSS – National Down Syndrome Society and NDSC – National Down Syndrome Congress are two great places to begin if you have a child with Down syndrome.
