Hi. I am the Mother of a 15 year old boy with DS who also has a severe inoperable heart/lung condition and many other medical problems . He is one of the less able DS children, he cannot talk and is in diapers and probably always will be. He receives all his nourishment via a gastrostomy tube. He is a very valuable member of our family and adored by us all. We live in the UK. I have three birth children, two adopted children and two foster children. I have been a foster carer for 30 years this year and have looked after over 300 children, the youngest being just a couple of hours old and the oldest was 16 (although my oldest stay at home foster son is now 24). before Nicky was born I used to foster children with severe life threatening disabilities and have had three little ones who sadly all died before their third birthdays. I am hoping to have another long term placement of a child with disabilites placed within the next few months. I lived in America and Canada for a number of years and my ex husband is an America. We lived in California, New Mexico, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
