Episode 21: Kai and Andrea - life with Trisomy 21

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.

Andrea tells the story of how they came to realise Kai was what their family had always needed.
