    Episode Details

    Parenting a Child with Down Syndrome

    Date: Mar 21, 2022

    Guests: Shauna Amick

    In 2005, Shauna Amick was surprised to learn during her third pregnancy that her child would have Down Syndrome and a life-threatening heart defect. Shauna’s doctors immediately & repeatedly recommended termination, which she refused to do, relying upon pro-life verses she had learned from the Bible. In this episode, Shuana praises God for Sarah’s Down Syndrome because that’s who He made Sarah to be and she brings glory to His name.
