They both look like down’s babies and I have said that since the first photo of them. You are wrong sister.

People who said they have DS must have DS themselves. DS looks are so obvious. You guys need to go to your eye doctor, seriously.

THANK YOU. I have been saying this for days. It is a near impossibility. For the record, Down syndrome is not a disease, and young women actually have a higher chance of having a baby with DS, the odds are just higher in older women because they have fewer babies in general.

They don’t have DS but there is something w/developmental disabilities. Something is up. I still can’t believe NE would use the term “Down Syndrome” and not developmental delays. Insane!

SICK EVIL Jennifer Aniston fans started this rumor. Her dumb middle aged white housewive fans just CANNOT get over a FIVE YEAR old divorce. Pathetic!

Most likely if they were DS, they wouldn’t be walking at 1 yo!!!!! Yes, they are beautiful, but so is my daugher who DOES have DS and is at least as beautiful as these babies!

What difference does it make. They love their children and will do what is best for them. I don’t see where it is anyones business but theirs.

Aniston’s fanatics started these rumors. I have almond shaped eyes and I looked a lot like Vivienne when I was little. Let me tell you a little about my adult life: I was a Wilhelmina model, and I’ve modeled for Avon, and a lot of other makeup lines. I am now an actress, and I am considered exotic, and let’s just say I don’t go out for the plain jane or girl next door roles. They are cute kids and we should just leave it at that. There is nothing wrong with Down’s kids, but this is brought up as a slight. I can’t believe grown people would pick on children. Shame on Aniston! Call your goons off!!!

How much does this couple have to endure from the press?? When is a story considered too sensitive or lacking in enough facts to print? What source is considered so remote as to be unreliable? It seems there are no limits. I have nothing but admiration for Brad and Angelina, despite a public hungry for Ange’s blood and paparazzi only too happy to find/create it, they are still going strong. I pray their children are all healthy and happy and if there was a problem they would have the most loving, protective parents.
The media has become the whacko, not to be trusted.

I know that many of you are simply airing your disgust at the papparazzi and National Enquirer’s exploitation of the Jolie-Pitt children. I, too, think it is beyond low to discuss the children of public figures in the media. With that said, however, there is still a great misunderstanding about Down syndrome today.

People with Down syndrome are capable, worthy, and beautiful. Researchers are making great strides in treatments. Scientists at Stanford believe they will be able to improve cognitive functioning.

Due to higher expectations, inclusive schools, and stronger education laws like IDEA and NCLB, more and more individuals with Down syndrome are receiving a quality education. Many make the honor roll. Many are now attending college and obtaining quality employment. There are many young self-advocates who travel the U.S. as speakers, work in fulfulling jobs, lobby the legislature for better laws, drive, and live happy, ordinary, “normal” lives.

People with Down syndrome can and do marry.
The days of institutionalization are over. Children with Down syndrome live in their communities with their families, and attend their neighborhood schools.

A study last year found that families with a child with DS have a lower divorce rate than all other marriages. Further, there are ongoing studies to corroborate a 2003 Austrialian study which reported that siblings of individuals with Down syndrome are more empathic and caring than siblings of typically-developing siblings.

Finally, there are countless anecdotal stories and first-person accounts about the joy and love children with Down syndrome bring to their families. Our family is but one example. We have 3 girls. Our middle daughter, who is 6, has Down syndrome. She is silly, sweet, energetic, and bright. She is absolutely stunning, and has been included in 2 calendars, magazine ads, and a book. She loves swimming and playing outside. Her sisters adore her and vice versa. Sometimes they fight. Sometimes she gets in trouble — just like her siblings. Her older sister sticks up for her friends and has an appreciation of diversity and individual differences. My husband and I are more patient now. She has taken us down a path we never imagined, and our lives are richer for it.

Are there some health issues associated with Down syndrome? Sure. 40 to 50% will be born with heart issues. But 50% will not. And – the recent strides in the field mean that most medical issues are correctible through surgery or medication. What health issues do we face now? Our daughter with Down syndrome gets frequent sinus infections and has reflux. But then again, so do I.
Are there therapy appointments? Sure. But Early Childhood Intervention programs provide home-based therapy for free or on a sliding-scale basis based on the parent’s income.

My intent is not to attack anyone, but to spread awareness and debunk all the myths and fear that still surround Down syndrome. I’d love for everyone to stop and take a long hard look at the way we, as a society, treat those with disabilities. Like you and me, they want and deserve a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

The twins have severe allergies. Their noses run and get stuffy, and their eyes are often irritated. That’s why they stayed inside sp much after birth. If they were Downs, they would have the clubby feet, etc. They don’t.

Since Palin only has one -Ms Jolie should definately run for President or vice president next time around

It’s Vivienne who appears to have Down Syndrome, so it’s not surprising Angelina-the-baby-collector would appear with Knox, instead. As for Suri, I doubt she is any relation to Tom Cruise. Pretty sure Kate was already preggo when he married her.

In my medical observed opinion, the twin girl, has features that resemble downs, but this does not in any way mean that she infact has it. Honestly it wouldnt matter if she did, she would still get the love and attention that is required of a toddler.

Downs or not, these children inherited NONE of their parents genes in terms of looks. The twins are not very attractive.

I’ve always thought the girl twin has downs syndrome features. Her forehead area seems large also and usually you saw her wearing a hat. Her brother appears sickly, there is something in the eyes. If they have anything it is most likely a very mild form as they are walking etc. They are both beautiful children whether or not this is true. Shiloh does NOT have Downs and doesn’t even look like she does as someone implied. At the end of the day, it’s not our business and their parents love them regardless. I think the fact that they were not photographed often like Shiloh was and the other kids, people started suspecting there was a reason. If they have some type of syndrome, it will eventually be revealed.

Boy, the American people are really becoming mean and nasty. Envy seems to be the ideology of a consumer society who is taught to envy and hate successful folks as Jolie and Pitt. Wow . . no wonder the rest of the world thinks Americans are dumb and ugly. I think they are neither . . just mean spirited. Very mean
