Things not to say series (31 for 21)

Continuing our things not to say to new parents of a baby with Down syndrome.....................

#2

Don't say:

 "I'm sorry."

When we learned that Kamdyn has Down syndrome, I dreaded people's pity.  I dreaded them pitying me or my child.  Don't be sorry.  Be encouraging.  So instead, say "Congratulations!"

  1. Great series! I agree, saying you're sorry is the worst thing you can say. It made me want to cry every time anyone said it to me after Russell was born :(
