To have a young girl give birth to a Down's Syndrome baby? Is there even one instance, in all of recorded history, when this has happened? Down's Syndrome is typically indicitive of pregnancies in women who are older.

Yes, there have been many cases of DS babies born to young mothers - the majority of them, in fact. Among older mothers you see a greater % risk, but fewer cases overall because there are also fewer pregnancies/births.

I see your point, and it does make more sense for Trig to be Sarah's baby. Your phrasing just seems rather insensitive to the many young mothers of DS children.
