Before my husband and I married in 1969, we had made plans for our future together. As we were young when we wed, he was 22 and I was 19, some of the plans were rather naive. However, adopting our son who has Down's Syndrome has made us all very happy.
We consulted our three birth daughters first, and with their agreement we went ahead. We adopted our son when he was 16 months old, we are all so glad he is a member of our family.
