located in central North Carolina, serving families in Wake, Durham and Orange and surrounding counties

Reading the work of others as they describe their experiences as a parent of a child with a disability can be an inspiration for our own lives. Here are some of our favorites:

	Welcome to Holland by Emily Per Kingsley
	A baby is a baby first (National Down Syndrome Congress)
	Overall Down syndrome reading list (as published in our TSDN Newsletter Sept/Oct 2000)
	Special Olympics of North Carolina

TDSN's New Parent Notebook offers comfort and information to local parents of child with Down syndrome.

There are a lot of resources available on the internet as well as local organizations that provide support for the child and the entire family. TDSN and White Plains Children's center also maintains a lending library. We also have some reference information on adopting. La Leche League has wonderful information on breastfeeding a child with Down syndrome.
