| Casey and Connor |
Every day, I review the most recent news about identical twins, hoping to find information that will help us raise our two little miracles in the best possible way.
That's I how I found this story about Casey and Connor, a set of identical toddlers with Down Syndrome.
Like my husband and I, Meghan and Matt Wilkinson had declined all testing when they learned she was pregnant.
They knew they would not terminate the pregnancy should anything go wrong and she was only 29 years old, at low risk for Down Syndrome.
Multiple ultrasounds showed two perfectly healthy boys.
It wasn't until they were born that they learned the news.
In celebration of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, I urge you to read this family's blog.
It brought me to tears, which isn't easy.

Thank you for taking the time to share our story. Casey and Connor have changed our lives in so many ways and every one of them is positive. Your blog is beautifully written. There is magic that comes with identical twins and I am always happy to find another mother who knows that. Thanks again. You made my heart smile today.
Thank you for your kind words. Your boys are absolutely beautiful and I hope that your story helps at least some people understand the joy that people with Down Syndrome can bring into the world (times 2!). Thank you for sharing and thanks for the photo. Just seeing them is enough to make any heart melt!
These two are so very sweet :) My little girl has Down Syndrome, and I would have/adopt more kids with Ds in a heartbeat!! Love seeing families who aren't devastated by this, and who are just happy to have their precious children :)
