Apparently the story is based on a true to life experience by parents who have a baby with Down's syndrome.
There is no denying that hundreds of parents get some very bad vibes from doctors and nurses. Instead of the usual happy and smiling faces they see worried looks and hear hushed voices .
So what should doctors and nurses say to these parents?
Well how about saying;  Congratulations!
EVERY new baby is an affirmation of life -- New hope for the future of the World.
A consistent theme in the lives of thousands of parents where a baby has been born with Down's syndrome is that this baby has changed their lives for the better - in ways they could never have imagined.

The DSRF is working to improve the future for all of our children - and we need your help. We live in wonderful times when every health and development problem can be researched and cures can be found.Especially those problems that are genetic in origin - so there is no need to be negative.The program at this point seems to be far to negative and not true to life. Our parents are made of much tougher stuff than these characters. And a child with Down's syndrome has the stuff that heroes are made of and they show us how to live unselfish lives.
