Select T-Shirt size*Select T-Shirt sizeSMLXL2XL3XLClick Here to View the T-Shirt Size Guide Hope Advocate GuidelinesWe ask every Hope Advocate to read over, and agree, to the following Hope Advocate Guidelines. If you have any questions about any of the guidelines please contact us by clicking on the support email found at the bottom of this page. A parent of a child with Down syndrome has a unique story and viewpoint that can offer hope and encouragement to the parents of a child who has just been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Therefore, we require all Hope Advocates to be a parent of a child with Down syndrome (of any age, living or nonliving.) Children with Down syndrome have value and worth, therefore Hope Advocates should not express the view that a diagnosis of Down syndrome is a reason for termination of a pregnancy. We have a tremendous amount of respect for medical professionals and the work that they do. As a Hope Advocate, we ask that you refrain from giving any type of medical advice. We encourage you to share your child’s personal story (including their medical history if asked) while making it clear that every child (and their story) is different. New parents will no doubt have medical questions, and we ask that you refer all medical questions to their medical professional. Hope Advocates agree to deliver the resources in their Hope Kit to their medical professional and agree to share updated resources (including their child’s updated Hope Announcements) with their medical professional on an annual basis. Parents have a wide variety of religious, political, medical, educational, and child rearing views, as well as family dynamics. Your main focus as a Hope Advocate is to share your story and offer friendship and hope to a new family. We ask that you respect the beliefs and views of others and keep the primary focus of the conversations you have with new parents about your personal story of raising a child with Down syndrome. There is no pressure for you to be an expert on everything related to raising a child with Down syndrome. It is important that we share accurate informational with families, if at any time you are asked a question that you do not know the answer to, or that you do not feel comfortable answering, a great phrase to use is, “That’s a great question, personally I’m not sure what the answer is, but I’ll help you find it.” Simply contact us and our team will help you find an answer to their question. You cannot control the actions of another person, force someone to be your friend, nor are you responsible for decisions they make regarding their child. Your role as a Hope Advocate is to offer friendship, support, and hope. You are not responsible for how others respond to your offer. New parents experience a range of emotions and feelings and we ask that you respect them. If a new parent doesn’t return your call, or stands you up for a coffee meeting, do not take it personal (See also #7 above.) We ask Hope Advocates to be gentle, kind, compassionate, and to always assume the best about the new parent. Phone calls or in person meetings are always the preferred ways to communicate. If you do communicate via email or text, we ask that you are careful to not communicate anything that could be misinterpreted as aggressive or unkind. Due to the sensitive topic matter (and safety for all involved) we ask that Hope Advocate / new parent relationships be same gender. In other words, moms would connect with moms and dads would connect with dads. In addition, we ask that the first time Hope Advocates meet a new parent, it be in a public place (coffee shop, restaurant, etc.) We believe this is a wise way to protect someone from being in a potentially uncomfortable, or unsafe, situation. We want to help equip you to be a great Hope Advocate and stay connected to our team and community of other families. Hope Advocates agree to read our “How to Be a Great Hope Advocate” document (included in your Hope Kit) and view at least one of our bi-weekly training videos a month. This allows us to connect with our Hope Advocates and share important information with you. The training videos will be less than thirty minutes and will be able to viewed in a variety of ways to make it easy for you to stay connected (Facebook Live, YouTube, our Private Facebook Group, and a link will also be sent to you in your Hope Advocate emails.) Hope Advocates agree that they are not employees of Hope Story, Inc. Hope Story’s role is to help connect parents of children with Down syndrome to parents whose child has just been diagnosed with Down syndrome.
