Explore The New Parents Issue

Having a baby should be one of the happiest times in your life. Sometimes, though, it comes with an unexpected twist that throws you for a loop. For many, finding out that your baby has Down syndrome is scary, and can even overshadow the thrill of becoming a parent to a beautiful new life.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

While there are many emotions to process when your child is diagnosed with Down syndrome, know this: there is so much joy in the journey. It’s a journey best navigated in community. While a magazine is no substitute for flesh-and-blood people, in these pages you will find the collective wisdom of parents who have walked these steps before you, supplemented by the knowledge of professionals who have served as reliable guides for many families.

Every child’s path is beautifully unique, and we hope this special New Parents issue of 3.21 Magazine will help you and your child on your way.

Welcome to the family!
