The One in a Million Baby

Our lives are full of odds. We buy lottery tickets when the chances of winning are as small as one in 40 million. But when the circumstances are a little different and the odds mean something rare and unusual, like a chromosomal abnormality or a medical condition in our children, we dismiss the much higher odds which can be as high one in 800 because we assume it won’t be us who make up that one. The One in a Million Baby tells the stories of the children and their parents who find themselves as that one in a thousand, or one in ten thousand, or even one in a million position and how they come to cope.

Unlike most Trisomy 21, or Down Syndrome, diagnoses which tend to happen in utero or at birth, Andrea and her husband Joe didn't get the diagnosis for their son, Kai, until he was already 14 months old. This late diagnosis rocked them, because it forced them to reconsider who their son was and how their lives would look. Andrea tells the story of how they came to realise Kai was what their family had always needed.
