T21Mom-A Down Syndrome Podcast

Mary sits down with Sabine Kussman, who recounts her poignant journey of her son Kian's diagnosis and her family's courageous path forward.

Sabine passionately shares how her family, guided by unwavering expectations and love for Kian, does everything they dream of. In a deeply moving moment, Sabine remembers when her two year old son, with innocent wisdom, reassured her, "don't worry mommy, everything is going to be fine!" And indeed it has been-more than fine!
