Sorry to butt my head in. Don't have a child with down syndrome. In fact, don't have a child at all.

I just think that if parents are able to, try to move abroad. Here in NL for eg, people with disabilities get a lot of help. There's health insurance, special schools (no extra cost), development aids etc. The stigma is also less. In the event the parents die or are not able to care anymore, at least your child won't have to sleep on the streets or something. The government will help care for your child (nurse or home or smth similiar). If he/she has a mild form, they can even live independently (maybe some kind of volunteer work where the income is supplemented by welfare. I saw this random TV-show and I think the boy whose DS could be classified as medium worked as a carrot packer or something like that. Another girl who is considered high-functioning is actually attending high school for normal people).

So yeah, kalau boleh..migrate.
