What Is the Congratulations Pledge?

If you are a medical professional taking the Congratulations! Pledge means that you are pledging to say "Congratulations!" instead of "I'm sorry" when your patient is expecting a child with or has just delivered a child with Down syndrome.

To everyone else taking the Congratulations! Pledge it means that you are pledging to say "Congratulations!" Instead of "I'm sorry" when a friend, family, or colleague's child receives a Down syndrome diagnosis.

We Believe Every Child Is Worthy of a "Congratulations!"
