At 52, Campos-Duffy is a mother of nine and shared how Valentina, who has Down syndrome, has been a profound influence on her family.
She emphasized that her youngest child has taught her eight siblings the value of patience and understanding.
She expressed concern over the high rate of prenatal terminations involving Down syndrome diagnoses, stating, “So many children with Downs are being exterminated in the womb, and I think that when people get to meet them and see how wonderful they are, we are going to see less of that.”
