Making May Matter
A Note from Dr. Sprouse:
In May, 2010, The Focus Foundation worked with Senator Sam Brownback, with the support of Senator Benjamin Cardin (D – MD), to proclaim May as X and Y Chromosomal Variations Awareness Month. Here we are 9 years later and so much has changed —more babies identified due to new prenatal testing, many research articles published showing the benefits of Early Hormonal treatment and more on the way. International Conferences thriving in United Kingdom, Italy and NOW —Australia! Our oldest boys and girls are heading to college —more every year! Some are getting married and all are living productive, healthy and successful lives. We are so proud of “our kiddos” and their amazing parents.
Enjoy our newsletter and our joint accomplishments because we could not have done this without our wonderful parents and your delightful children. We are growing nationally and globally. We are committed to bringing the good news and hope to all families at home and around the world.
