[CALIBK12] Have you heard of this?

[Larry & Tania Guyer]

I think that is the writer for "O" magazine, Martha Beck. I remember the book she wrote, "Expecting Adam", where she recalls the moment she was informed that her child was going to be born with Down Syndrome.

Have you heard of this?


I have a teacher who is trying to find an essay she read about 10 years ago.  It was written by a mother whose child had Down's Syndrome (possibly CP).  It was about how you don't always get what you expect....when she was pregnant, she had dreams/expectations for her new baby...like what you expect to see when you go to Paris on a trip....however, her plane landed in Australia....Australia is good, but she expected Paris.



Does anyone out there recognize this and have a source?



Thanks a bunch!
