Connect with Other Families

Connecting with other families who have experienced what you are experiencing is such an important need for all parents — especially in the early day of learning about Trisomy 18 when everything you’re hearing is a shock and scary and you don’t know what the future holds for you, your child and the rest of your family.

We have a large number of settings where these connections can be made — some are more private than others, some are better at different stages in your journey.  Parents in pregnancy often find it difficult to be in a group focused on the caretaking for living children when their child has not arrived yet, and may never reach those stages of development.
