Please bring this back! This was my feel good show. I loved it!!! Whenever life was feeling too stressful I’d switch this show and feel calm and happy. It warms the heart and the world needs more of that…

0 39 Mary Miller September 1, 2021

please bring this show back it is so inspiring and I love the young ladies and gentlemen that were on the show

0 33 Amanda Wyatt-Amerman August 27, 2021

I am trying to understand why this show would be canceled over some of the other stuff on TV. Everyone I know that watched this show not only LOVED it but was also inspired by it. It made women out there see down syndrome in another light. Some women terminate pregnancy with that diagnosis but after watching this might think differently. Its an important show that needs to continue. That cast was golden too. They deserve to be seen !!!

0 10 Cindi Amanda Wyatt-Amerman January 3, 2022

You couldn't be MORE RIGHT!!!! I never looked at it like you did, but women would have LESS abortions through watching this show. Why it was canceled is beyond me. These young, brilliant people were BEAUTIFUL to watch on TV!!!
Happy New Year to you!

0 21 Tere August 17, 2021

Why would you cancel such a well done show? We found it on Prime and were disappointed to see that it had been cancelled. It was so well done, we enjoyed seeing the accomplishments and downfalls that each of the young men and women had endured these past years. There is nothing else on like it which is a pity. I really wanted to what the cast, both the young men and women as well as the parents have been doing. My husband and I will miss this show. I had even gotten our son and daughter in law hooked on it when they stopped over one day after a trip they took. [sad2]

0 17 David Randall Tere August 23, 2021

I totally agree! This is one show that deserves to be continued!!

0 20 Karleen May 22, 2021

I loved watching these people grow, having grown up with a brother who has disabilities I would like to see how they did with the pandemic, I would like to me brother can see he can do what he wants. My parents never showed him he can do more than he can. This is great show and should be renewed.

0 13 ROSE ANN GREINER May 18, 2021

Why did they end the show Born This Way? It was such a nice show..

0 16 Christine Kerr April 25, 2021

I really enjoyed watching this show as the Megan, Christine, Rachel, Elena, John, Sean, Stepehn, and Angel grew within this show. But what are they doing now as they got their independence. I loved the challenges the young adults and parents went through and are still going through. It's a shame they cancelled this show which I shouldn't be surprised - it seems networks cancel shows that viewers enjoy but renew ones that in my opinion should be cancelled.

0 24 Dale Patra Rudd May 21, 2019

Please renew this wonderful show. I have learned alot,and it leaves you with a feel good sense.
Please don't cancel!!!!!

0 20 Eddie Irvin McKinney August 14, 2018

Thank you for bringing Down Syndrome people to A&E. Having adopted my 1st grandchild, a precious DS babygirl I know how truly special they are. LeeAnn was so smart, witty and funny. She was the beat of my heart and when she passed in 2009, 1month before her 27th birthday I felt like my heart died. She had a severe heart & lung disease. Life goes on but it has not been as bright?

0 5 Vickie Okelley Eddie Irvin McKinney April 17, 2021

I am so sorry for your loss I have a son with ds he just turned 32 but hes getting the shakes and his breathing is getting bad I'm getting worried about him and cant see my life without him. I was 16 years old when I had him so he had me grow up and I appreciate every moment.

0 12 Vicki outlaw June 4, 2018

I love the show! When is season four starting?
I keep hearing June but still no word.
My sister Amy who’s Downs love this show too!

0 15 Brenda718 February 2, 2018

HUGE fan of the show and now I'm sharing it with my moms and dads I work with to show them their child can do anything they want to do! #nolimits

1 12 Stowersj October 11, 2017

I am so glad there is a show about down syndrome because my stepdaughter has it and my first daughter that was my 11yr olds twin sister had down syndrome but she passed away from health complications at birth

0 2 Vickie Okelley Stowersj April 17, 2021

That's really sad

0 3 Vickie Okelley Vickie Okelley April 17, 2021

When my son was born n 1989 with down syndrome there was a show that came on and meant alot 2 me called life goes on. It was a great show and then born this way it really helps even though there's different types of downs.

1 16 Barbee October 4, 2017

I absolutely love this show! This is the best reality show on tv! My family and I have become so invested in the cast! I can't wait for the new season!

1 17 Rox September 10, 2017

Gee I love this show. My daughter talked so much about it so thought I'd give it a chance. Glad I did.

Each individual brings their own special characteristics which makes the show so interesting. Only one comment - Megan, do not feel it's so important to get married and have a baby. Enjoy life! You're such a beautiful adult woman and alot of life is ahead of you.
My whole family loves dancing to "Shake your booty booty"! Look forward to episode 4.

0 0 Mama Rox June 14, 2023

I agree....Megan is too pushy, jumping from one of the guys to the next and she definitely knows how to play them against each other. Sbe would scare me off in a heartbeat. Her Mom seems to give the impression that its ok and its not. Its not the guys breaking up with her without cause...she scares them into committing to marriage and a baby. Mom needs to sit her down and teach more appropriate relationship behavior.

1 23 Min August 15, 2017

? What an AWESOME show!
Thanks for making it. Our family LOVES the entire cast & everyone associated with this show! So inspirational.

The show makes us laugh, cry, & cheer for the cast!

So wonderful to meet everyone! Incredible families.

It's probably difficult to keep living ur lives in front of the camera, but we can't wait to see new shows. Thanks for the exciting 10 episodes in S3.

1 17 Christina Valdez August 12, 2017

Hurry and put on the next season of born this way. I was disappointed that the season went by so quickly. I had it to record and seen it was the last one ? . Please renew the show

0 13 Debbie Ann Long August 12, 2017

They r beautiful young ladies n men love to ? watch how they progress love this show ?

0 16 Becky W August 9, 2017

Best show on television. They are people who are truly inspiring and dont let there disabilities define or limit them. Kudos to the wonderful parents behind these confident children, for you are the ones who helped mold them into the strong adults they are today.

0 15 Carlos April 25, 2017

We've been lucky to meet Rachel, Steven, and Sean and their parents Amazing families. This show has brought our family together. Can't wait for Season 3

0 19 Kimmy April 24, 2017
