What is something unique and special about your child with trisomy that you wish more people knew?
We call Titus the “baby, baby” as he is the youngest of 4, (sisters 19 and 12 yrs old and brother 17 yrs old). He is loved, even before he was born. I talk to him about “the ladies” bc his female nurses love him! He is famous for his awesome hair and smile.

He has several nicknames: Big Titus: This was given to him from a nurse. He was born at 3 lbs and call him big Titus to speak life into him. Sir Titus: Titus is sophisticated. He loves jazz.

Why do you believe raising awareness about trisomy conditions is important, and how can others make a difference?
I believe that raising awareness about trisomy conditions is important because knowledge is power and because our babies deserve a chance. Our trisomy babies are creating history, history that even some doctors can’t fathom. A big part of that is because they are unaware. Titus was denied life before even given a chance. Bring in prayer and faith, and look at what God does.

During Trisomy Awareness Month, what message would you like to share with the world about your family’s journey and the trisomy community?
Our family’s journey is one of unity and love. My husband, Bobby, and I believe that this is why God chose Titus for us. God knew that as long as Titus fights we will advocate.
He has siblings and family that love him. I have been introduced into a community of families of children with Trisomy and other medically challenged diagnosis. Their strength, love, and support are incomparable and I love offering the same.
