Welcome! This egroup was designed to help kids and adults with a rare chromosomal abnormality called Mosaic Down sydrome. We are affiliated with http://www.mosaicdownsyndrome.org/. This egroup is only for those with this condition not for the parents of MDS children although monitoring by parents is welcome. Parents please use the site yahoo.com/group/mdsuk/. This egroup is to develop friendships and have fun with friends who also have MDS. Please write an introduction to larainegray@live.com before or after you have signed up so we will know it is okay for you to join. By going through our moderators it will keep unwanted spammers out of our wonderful MDS kids site. We believe you will have a lot in common with each other and our members are available to help each other with any problems. Share your accomplishments and dreams with each other and you will make this group successful. Having good friends is like the stars....You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.
