My newborn twins had Down syndrome, so I left them in the hospital... But before I got to my car, a nurse ran after me screaming, “WAIT! WHAT THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT YOUR BABIES IS NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH!” 😱💔

My voice broke.

“But the moment I heard that someone loved one of my daughters and not the other, every part of me shouted no.”

La señora Cole se inclinó hacia delante.

“¿Por qué?”

“Because they are not a set of problems that can be divided depending on what someone is able to endure.”

I kissed Baby A's forehead.

“They are sisters.”

The next few days were brutal.

There were interviews.

Assessments.

Advisory sessions.

“What will it do when raising them becomes difficult?”

There would be medical appointments.

Therapies.

Exhaustion.

Worry.

Days when I would doubt myself.
