They decided to become parents despite the doctors’ disappointing prognoses. The baby was born with exactly the same diagnosis. Now the boy is 29 years old – he leads a full lifestyle, swims, plays football and wants to get a job. In this article you can see how the unusual child looks like, who has become quite an adult.
18-year-old Patti White became a mum on her own initiative. It was quite a long time ago (60s), and people with Down syndrome were not so socialised. And there was a prejudice against them.
Medics and native parents persuaded their daughter to give up the child, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome. They proved that the girl would never be able to become a full-fledged person.
However, Patti was confident that she could socialise her daughter. She believed that all children deserve love and care, regardless of their state of health and diagnoses. The woman did her best to make Lisa happy.
Lisa grew up and pleased her mother with successes, despite all the difficulties. The girl studied, helped her mother around the house, and later even started working in a local shop.
A social worker helped Lisa to get to work by public transport, so she felt like a normal person. She was very good at managing money transactions and was very responsible.
The team welcomed the diligent employee very warmly, despite her diagnosis. It was at work that Lisa met Tima, in whom she fell in love up to her ears.
Their romantic relationship grew rapidly, and at the age of 29, Lisa became pregnant. Nick was born in 1995 – he was diagnosed identically, because there were no other options. The baby could not be healthy if the parents have the same features.
Raising a grandson for Pati was a new challenge, however, she coped with it perfectly. Now she takes care of her daughter and grandson, because Lisa herself cannot cope with everything.
The boy was energetic from an early age. He was always drawn to sports and music. In addition, Nick learnt to compose rap music and did not feel any different in the circle of peers.
When Nick reached his teenage years, he became interested in cinema. He dreamed of making his own film.
He is now 29 years old. His main hobbies are football and swimming. Also, the young guy wants to become a waiter. Over the years, Nick has managed to star in several films and programmes, which shows that inclusion is not a sentence.
