Answer 1

You don't say where you are from, but usually you can find foster parenting information from your local Job and Family Services, or whatever it's called in your city. Check out the link below for information.

Usually you have to apply, then take foster parenting classes and get certified. Once you are established as a potential foster parent, you can then specify that you would like to foster a child with down syndrome. It might not be that easy of a request to fill, but then again, there might be quite a few children with that particular disability who need homes. My understanding is that children with Down's Syndrome are the most loving and sweet kids to be around.

What an awesome goal. Good luck and I hope some lucky child finds a special home with you.

Answer 2

in the same way that you would go about adopting any other kid. Just be prepared to show that you can provide the help and support that a child with Downs may need.

Answer 3

there is a national adoption organization out there for specifically downs kids. considering 80% are aborted this is a great cause
