Hey there everyone,

Since we're talking about statistics so much I have a question. What

is the eye color of your children with Down Syndrome? I'm asking b/c

when Noah was born I went looking online for pictures of kids/babies

with DS and out of the hundreds of pictures I saw, I noticed that

only a couple of the kids had brown eyes. Almost all of them had

blue or hazel eyes, but not brown. Noah and his twin both have blue

eyes, but their older brother has brown eyes like me. I don't know

if genetically or statistically there's something about people with

DS not having brown eyes very often, but just thought this is a good

pool of people to ask!

Thanks!

> Identicals with down's is not the norm. Genetics experts will even

tell you it is impossible. At last count there were approximately 20

sets in the US that I knew of. Judi may have better numbers than I

do. And MOST is Mothers of Super Twins which means triplets or

more. My three are natural triplets and there is only one other set

that I know if with identical twins with downs in that category. If

anyone has any better information, please jump in.
