That's beautiful. Wow. A woman who just got a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome could watch this and see, oh my gosh, here's people that date.
My son can get married. My child one day will have a job, will have meaningful relationships, and will have an amazing life. I'm Rachel. I'm 32. What do you want people to know about you? I have an extra chromosome in me.
But I have a big heart though. Our dream for them is that they could live as independent as they can. My paycheck. We just started today. Being independent is working on our own.
Hey, Kevin. You can make your life anything you want. Drinking beers?
Yeah, cheers. My name is Steven. I'm 24 years old. I was born with Mosaic Down Syndrome. Online dating is the worst.
She is crazy. A lunatic. My name's Sawa.
I'm 25 years old. Are you currently working? No, not yet, but I'm looking for a good job. We feel customer service is the key to our success. I'm perfect.
You feel good about that? I can do it. Is he sexy?
Is he cute? Yes, he is cute. You're beautiful.
My name is Christina. I'm 25 years old. I like hanging out with my friends, my family, my boyfriend. I love you.
To hang out and chill. What did you get her? A ring.
You got her a ring? It's a really big step to get married. If we want to have an independent life, we've got to make sure that they have an independent life.
The problem is I'm not ready. Can you believe that we're talking about our girl with Down syndrome? That she's going to be the first one out of the house? My name is Elena and I have dreams all the way over. Back to one and action!
Elena is the outgoing personality. She loves to sing or acting and just being the center of attention. Hi, my name is John Tucker and I am a rap artist, honey.
It's hard enough in this industry without a disability. Yeah. You gotta let all that go. I got hopes, dreams, everything that you have, I have.
Woo! I'm Megan and I'm 22. I'm in college right now and I have my own business, Megology. I don't want the whole society to limit me because I have this. How do you handle dating?
How do you handle kissing? I love you. I love you too. I love you way more, Brendan.
I do want to talk with you about the whole baby thing. Okay. I would really, really like for you to reconsider that dream. Oh my god.
She needs to be independent and I worry about what happens when I die. Just the thought of her being alone was really sad. There is going to be a time that your father and I won't be here. If today was the day, he would live with me and he would take vacations with Christina.
One of the things about being the parent of a child with an intellectual disability is you just have different things to celebrate, different things that are rewarding and they come along at different times. But the feelings are the same. One day people would look at him and admire him and they wouldn't look at him as Down syndrome. And it wouldn't be staring at him for the wrong reason.
The doctor asked her if she wanted to have a person of me. And I could be out there dead. Your parents have given birth to you.
They love you. They care for you. I'm here. I'm alive. I'm human.
We have to just be the person that we are. And that's what God made us to be. Megan has taught me what's important in life.
I had no idea that I was capable of loving someone the way I love my daughter. For you guys to do this for me, you guys really touch me.
