I met fraternal twins once, both girls, of whom one had Down's and the other didn't. They were doing very well, aged about 4 - the Down's sister copied her sibling and learnt a lot without realising it. No idea how they turned out, but the start was excellent. For identicals, of course they'd both be Down's and I can't imagine an easy outcome for the parents. More than double the strain of having a Down's singleton. But there are plenty of elder sibs to help out.

As for the family - the parents have unusual names and really seem to have reacted against them! The kids could hardly be more mainstream.
