What happens to adults with Down syndrome when their parents can't look after them any more?

As a family we raised Kathy teaching her how to talk. Our German Shepherd always wore a harness rather than a collar and he would sit in our backyard with Kathy for hours. He’d sit next to her and she would grab hold of his harness and he wouldn’t move til she was standing and steady. He then would walk around the yard with her holding onto him. If she fell, he sat til she was ready to go round again. They did this for months til eventually Kathy began walking on her own.

This is our Kitty Kat as we all call her. It was taken at her 50th birthday party we had for her last year. We figured since she will never be married and have that big reception we all love to have, we threw her a HUGE party with over 100 people in attendance. Rented a hall, hired a DJ, caterer, dancing, cake the whole 9 yards…she had a blast!!! ♥️♥️

Fast forward…Kathy is 49 yrs old and my mom is dying of cancer. My sibs have all moved out of state except my brother and I. Needless to say, my brother isn’t really equipped to handle caring for my sister. I’m a retired nurse so for me it’s not a problem. My sister that lives in NC and I need to decide what is in Kathy’s best interest. She has ALWAYS been with my mom. An adult foster care or extended living would confuse her and slowly depress her and we felt would be the beginning of the end for her. That would not be the correct thing for her.

What pleasure do guys get by sucking female breasts?

Edit #2: I think I need to set something straight here. When I said that people disgust me when they turn their backs on love ones with special needs I don’t mean everyone. I totally agree with those who aren’t equipped emotionally, financially, physically to deal with it. I also understand that some special needs cant be cared for in the private home setting. What I was referring to was the families that DO HAVE these means that are selfishly turning their backs on these people and walking away when their help is needed the most. THOSE people disgust me!!! Hope this clears the air for those who were thinking I was against everyone who didn’t stand up and take their family member in…♥️

This was September 30, 2018. My mom passed away on December 14, 2018. Kathy has adjusted extremely well living here with me and has handled my moms passing prob the best out of all us kids. Before mom got sick, they attended church regularly and Kathy has become extremely religious so explaining my moms passing to her wasn’t as difficult as we thought it was going to be. Now that moms gone, she refuses to go to church now, but her bedroom looks like a religious shrine..lol. Occasionally she will ask why mommy had to die, and I’ll remind her of the cancer my mom had and then she will be ok again.

When going to court to obtain guardianship for her, due to the fact that my sister and I are sharing guardianship of her, the judge was extremely impressed that there were 2 of us “stepping up to the plate” he said. He said normally they have probs finding ppl to take guardianship over special needs adults and here he has 2 siblings that are coming forward WANTING to share guardianship. This made me sooo heartbroken and sad to hear that even here in our little town in Michigan, there are ppl that turn their backs on family members with special needs cuz they don’t want to deal with them!

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

We absolutely LOVE having my sister here!! She is fun, funny, helpful, and has the biggest heart of anyone Ive EVER met!! I wouldn’t change ANYTHING we’ve done!! I just have a hard time thinking of what it would be like without her here or in a home somewhere… I could NEVER turn my back on her! She’s my blood and my baby sister-how can ppl do that??? Is that how selfish ppl have become?? How disgusting!!! 😱😱😱

She attended the special school here in town, graduating at 26 yrs old. VERY proud moment for all of our family-both immediate and extended as everyone has grown to love her.

Edit: I want to thank EVERYONE for the number of views, upvotes and comments that I have received on my post!!! NEVER did I even dream of these many people reading this!! I was shocked when I saw this today and it’s not even 3 days old!!! LOL. I was only trying to top my last 2 and this did by almost 100k!! Again, TYSM and Kitty Kat was sooo excited when I showed her her pic on here!! Then I showed her all your comments and she rubbed her hands together so fast (her way of showing excitement..lol) I thought she would start a fire!! LMAO!!! God Bless everyone!!! Stay safe!! With love, Jodie and Kathy..♥️

Just a short back story here. I am the 3rd child of 6 kids. My mom had a stillbirth of her 5th child and my sister Kathy, is her 6th. Kathy was born with Downs Syndrome. They attempted to talk mom into placing her into a home (this was in the 60’s) telling her my sister would be a vegetable never walking or talking. My mom refused to believe them and brought her home to us 4 remaining kids.

I live 5 min from my moms house. Even on the same road. As my mom's health began to rapidly deteriorate we decided that Kathy should not be in the house watching my mom slowly pass away. The decision was easily made that Kathy would come live with me and my family. We had the extra bedroom and she would not have to leave the only town she has ever lived in. Originally, my mother’s wishes, were to have her move to NC to be with my oldest sister. After lengthy discussions with my mom and my sister we felt uprooting her ESP while grieving the loss of our mom may be too much for her at once so staying with me was the best option.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.
