Sonia McGarrity is a mother of eight children, four of whom have Down syndrome and were adopted into her family. Her personal experience raising a large family that includes children with special needs has made her a passionate advocate for pro-life causes and special needs adoption.
McGarrity appeared on the Kim Monson Show in February 2019 to share her family's journey of adopting four children with Down syndrome. She discussed the joy and beauty her children bring to her family and exposed what she described as pressure tactics that doctors sometimes use to push expectant mothers toward abortion when prenatal testing indicates a child may have Down syndrome.
Her advocacy focuses on supporting expectant parents facing difficult diagnoses, promoting special needs adoption, and sharing the positive reality of life with children who have Down syndrome. McGarrity offers a firsthand perspective that challenges negative assumptions about the quality of life for individuals with special needs and their families.
