Hi all, I’m here to tell you all about my beautiful little girl, Erin Mae. Erin is 16 months old now and is doing really well, all things considered! I unexpectedly fell pregnant at 17 years of age and received the diagnosis of Erin having Down syndrome at 33 weeks pregnant; I had just turned 18. I’m now 19 years old and I’m a single parent.
