I am a single mom with two children with Down Syndrome ~ I am a professional woman with an MBA, a great job, attractive, and well on my way to success. I am fun to be around and a very good catch as told by my friends. I want to get back in the dating seen but I want to know if having two children with Down syndrome is going to scare people off. I guess if it does I'll know that they aren't the one for me anyway right?

Men don't want to date a woman with children. It is a stigma for many reasons. The fact that your children require additional attention and care is a lot of ask of a man looking for a romantic prospect and a massive request of a man looking to settle down.
The point is that it doesn't matter. If you're looking for a husband and father you're just going to have to find a man who can and will take that on. If you just want comfort and comany maybe you should avoid the topic of your children. Eitehr way you have a massive albatross around your dating neck, dont' kid yourself into thinking this is something people will just accept.

Ami ( sound s better than Miss stupid >;O)
You are looking for a special kind of guy and I'm sure hes out there , Its not easy easing someone into a special family . If you find a guy and he turns and runs then he isn't the kind of guy to have around your kids . you sound like a super lady and I hope you find that special someone in your life and they can except that at the end of the day your kids are just like any other they just need a double dose of patients and love

well its like this its hard enough to date with having kids period... but with having children with special needs,, its like they are going to take away even more time from you ,, and it would really have to be a special guy that didnt mind being with you and your kids,, i have know single women that have had kids with Downs Syndrome,, and they were usually very good kids and a joy to be around .. so if there is a guy in your area i just hope that he really understand your kids,,,

eh wouldnt scare me. children like this just need more attention an love. the children cant help the way they are. so anyone who would look at them and go no thanks. well thats three right. but they are ppl to. my nephew is a little slow himself. and he makes me laugh my **** off. there no different from anyone else. my gf she just had a baby and its someone elses kid. now he dosnt have anything wrong with him. wich im glad about extremly glad. but i would still love him if he had a physical disability or mental.

well i would say NO not if they are the right person for you , if they dont accept your beautiful children then dont give them the time of day, anyone who knows down syndrome children would know they are most special & loving, i wish you love & happiness for the future,

Women with ANY children scare me off. Period.
But you'll just have to see how people react to your children. If the man treats them (and you) with respect and dignity, then you might have a winner on your hands.

come on to be honest i'm scared but its' a scary sisuations...
it wouldn't be my topic starter thats for sure...
But once you got a feel on it you could ease someone it to make it not so scary with you being around it so much you don't see the scare in it. but giving up details about the condishion... Then you can see if they are right for you!
But if you just popped into my life with that luggage yeah i would hit the road running! and i'm a chick!
Good luck
I wish you the best :)
MAd luv

No matter who you meet someone who is misinformed about down sydrome might not like it if they can't accept this then their not worth your time be up front about the fact that you have 2 kids after the 2nd date,wait before telling them when you meet them that you have 2 kids some pedifiles pick single moms so be careful.
