EVERY NEW MUM wants to know what to expect when she’s expecting, so when one mum-to-be discovered that her baby was going to be born with Down Syndrome she decided to write a letter.

The letter made its way to CoorDown, Italy’s National Coordination of Associations for People with Down Syndrome, and they decided to respond in a very special way ahead of World Down Syndrome day on March 21st.

CoorDown teamed up with advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi to produce Dear Future Mom, a heart-warming video reply from 15 people who are living with the chromosomal disorder.
