Noah's Dad

The online narrative we creating about our son who was born with Down syndrome has been featured by numerous news and media outlets. We’re thankful for the various members of the press that have helped us to continue to show the world that Down syndrome isn’t a curse word. That people like our son don’t live in a sad story. And for helping us paint a more accurate picture of what Down syndrome is all about.

Below you will find links to several selected articles and interviews that we’ve had the privilege of being a part of. If you’re a member of the media interested in an interview please contact us with “media” in the subject line. Be sure to check out Noah’s birth story, and our about page first, as it may answer some of your questions in advance. Thank you for helping us show the world that people born with Down syndrome are worthy of life.
