Welcome to our KIDS (Keep Infants with Down Syndrome) blog! Leticia Velasquez and I, both mothers of daughters with Down syndrome, formed KIDS last year so that families of children with Down syndrome could meet and walk together in the 2009 March for Life.
Our purpose was to raise awareness of the high incidence of abortion after a positive diagnosis of Down syndrome. It is estimated that about 90% of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in utero are aborted.
We had a great reasponse to our event, and we plan on attending the March for Life in D.C. in 2010. In the meantime, Leticia and I are working toward making this an official organization so that we can advocate for all individuals with Down sydnrome, both born and unborn.

About KIDS
KIDS was formed for the purpose of gathering families who have chldren with Down syndrome and walking together in the annual March for Life in D.C. Our purpose is to raise awareness about the tragically high abortion rate of babies prenatally diagnosed with Down sydnrome. We wish also to proclaim the joys our special children bring to us.
