Sofia Sanchez helped us celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st and today her Mom Jennifer Varanini Sanchez is here to chat with us! This mother of four opens up about the Down syndrome diagnosis of her youngest son Joaquin at 3-months-old that led her on a pursuit to learning more. Listen to how a charitable donation in honor of a family member's memory led this mama on a path to completing her family through international adoption. We chat about celebrating each child’s individual gifts, fostering independence, inclusion and diversity on a blockbuster film set, and so much more! Friends, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!
