Down Syndrome

Just like his parents, Rabbi Gilad Menachem Berlin and his wife Tamar opened their home to foster children. They share their journey of fostering alongside raising 11 biological children.

Ziv and Shiri Maayan have an extraordinary family: three children with Down syndrome, a child with autism, and three 'typical' children. But it's not just the family that's special, it's also those who lead it. In a touching and unique conversation, Shiri unfolds what led to this situation and their unconventional, yet happy, lives.

After experiencing a miscarriage, Judy and Matt were thrilled with the birth of their twins Abigail and Isabel. Shortly after their birth, the doctor informed them that both twins had Down syndrome, a one-in-a-million chance. The couple didn't know how to process the news, but today, 9 years later, they respond to the doctor: "What exactly are you sorry for?"

Despite being told their unborn daughter would not survive, Erica and Steve Jones welcomed their 'miracle baby.'
