'Someone once asked us, 'If you had the ability to take away her Down syndrome, would you do it?' I don't think we would because that's what makes her Ainsley.'
DEER PARK, Texas -- Brenda and Rick Spencer found out that their daughter Ainsley, now 30, had Down syndrome the day she was born.
The obstacles for the Spencer family didn't end there: Living in New Orleans at the time, they were among the 1 million people displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. "The main thing was the medical care. At that time in New Orleans, if you went to the emergency room, you could maybe see a doctor in four days. We were worried that if Ainsley had a medical issue, she wouldn't be able to get taken care of. That's when we started thinking that maybe this isn't the right place for us anymore," they said.
"When I see Ainsley, I am so proud of everything she's done. I do get emotional a lot, but that's just because of the love I have for her and how she's touched my life as a parent," Rick said."Don't ever look down on somebody because they're different than you." "Ainsley is one of a kind. She has a great personality. She comes with a lot of spunk, and she's very competitive," Fox said.
