I thought I would e-mail her about Soeren Palumbo. I thought maybe just maybe she would be interested to talk to him. I sent the link to his speech too. I dont know why, but I cant get his speech out of my mind!! I really wish Oprah would do a show about this topic. Or, about Ds awareness???

I'd love to see a positive story done on Down syndrome too! And several years ago, quite a few of us from here sent emails to Oprah hoping that WE could get our story out there..............and you have to admit that it's one very COOL story: HUNDREDS of parents/grandparents/aunts/siblings/teachers of kids with Ds meeting on the internet and forming friendships internationally!!! I know there are other websites of this kind, but of course I'm prone to think that Uno Mas is the BEST!!! We thought, with all the horrible negative things that come from the internet (anywhere from annoying spam to porn!), it was really exciting that we have relationships here that are so POSITIVE!!! We didn't manage to convince Oprah's staff that it would make a good show.......but I still think it would!

I think it's a WONDERFUL idea! The world as a whole doesn't see our children as we do.... nor do they understand the support we get from this board; from people who may live thousands of miles away! (and people who live just down the road that you didn't know were there!). I think it's a better idea than many, many of the shows I see aired daily.

I found her website once while surfing the Internet. I did some reading and even tried to post a message. I just didn't want to share my e-mail with them. I was afraid they'd put my e-mail on a list or two. I didn't want that. This was back when I had a different e-mail. They may have wanted my address and I was relunctant to give that to them.
Who is Soeren Palumbo? Are you saying he has Down syndrome?..............Debbie

you should all have three emails one for spam , one for business and one for family, that way if you have to give your email address to some website or other you can give them your spam websight then it never affects your other two email addresses,
you can download soeren palumbos speech on utube if you havent seen it it is amazing
it should be required viewing in all middle and high schools especially on world down syndrome day..
