I admire you for having someone with Down's Syndrome. My cousin has it and is now living independantly and, in fact, is married! Hmmm here I am, almost 40 and single and he is married! *LOL* WTH am I doing wrong here????

Don't worry about the ones who might pass over your profile because of this... you only want the ones that read it and start talking to you! The other ones are probably way too shallow for you anyhow!!!

Take care

No need to mention you have a child with any type of special needs in your profile. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome and in no way do I feel it necessary to reveal information of such to anyone viewing my profile. I agree with the other posts, it may not be the reason for not getting matches, plus I have found that the one main match that I was interested in, absolutely expressed joy that I have a daughter with special needs. He had no problem at all with that. The info came out as we casually conversated. But I did not deemed it necessary to mention as a way to show interest to me in my profile.

It may weed out some individuals, however there may be those that have no experience of first hand knowledge of a special needs child.
That said, I would suggest waiting until the first meet so the person will have the opportunity to meet you and possibly become educated to your lifestyle.
In other words, they may rule out what may be a perfectly wonderful match due to misinformation on their part.

Good luck....
