The following are some comments about the original photographic exhibition and those forwarded to us via our website feedback page.

'Good to see the myths dispelled'

 

'Thanks for your work.  Twenty years ago I was co-parent to a child with Down syndrome and her mother had such a battle to get access to education for her.  She was really isolated as a parent.  The photos of the mothers and babies together are inspiring - they're not alone as parents.  Thank you again.  I hope this travels internationally.'
