crying when you find your child has a disability is not shallow. How dare you.
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
if your cup is full, may it be again

I always thought the baby looked like she had Down's too.
I am not a troll, but I believe in them since I see them every day on IMDB.

I just finished watching the movie and I never once thought that baby looked like he had down's. I've seen the movie multiple times and never thought that.

I come from a family rife with Down's Syndrome - many 1st, 2nd, and third cousins have it - their child did not look like it had Down's Syndrom, at all. Just rewatched the movie today and even though I saw the movie hen it first cwme out (sans kids), I've since seen it numerous times and it still cracke me up, and I still cry at the final scene. Wonderful movie.

That was my question the first time I saw the movie. After subsequent viewings, I've concluded the baby does have Down's. It makes perfect sense her parents would be a bit wistful.

I just watched this movie again for the umteenth time and it doesn't look to me like the baby had Down's at all. If Wiest's character is crying, it's bacause she is happy. And Mary Stienbergen's character is the same way. Everyone is happy and grateful for what they have.
How sad, that you were not born in my time, nor I, in yours.

Lots of babies look like they have downs at some point in their early development. It has to be confirmed upon noticing other symptoms. If the baby had downs, they would've pointed it out. I remember people saying that about Suri Cruise, tooI have a nephew with Down's, when you see them for yourself, up close and often, you can see that this baby in the movie doesn't have Down's

I thought the same thing when I first saw this as a teen.

First of all, it's Down Syndrome, not Down's Syndrome or Downs Syndrome. Second, they show the baby for all of a few seconds. It's impossible to tell. I don't see anything in that baby that might look like DS.

Down Syndrome, not Down's Syndrome or Downs Syndrome.
Thanks for the correction. I guess because Syndrome starts with "S", I just assumed.It is impossible to tell, if you only hear it spoken.
