One would have to wonder if parents had been presented with the survey results shown in the blog, if their choice might have been different. Of course having a child with a disability is a huge responsibility, and many parents might feel overwhelmed at that thought. At the same time, these parents don't have the experience yet, so fear of the unknown might be what is actually driving these statistics. It is unfortunate that parents have this choice, as so many potentially wonderful, beautiful, and happy lives have been ended.Dr. Oliviahttp://www.psy-ed.com/about.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-72970790697368084162013-10-19T12:27:28.886-07:002013-10-19T12:27:28.886-07:00A non Christian friend of mine had a boy with Down...A non Christian friend of mine had a boy with Downs nearly 30 years ago. The doctor who broke the news to her, referred to him as a 'creature'. It was that remark which spurred my friend on to fight for her son all the way.<br />pippinsmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480746966452608561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-69502776604487767392013-10-18T09:59:54.573-07:002013-10-18T09:59:54.573-07:00Excellent.

Lived life to the full. Some thought he had something wrong with him. We thought he showed us we had sometimg wrong with us. Not an ounce of guile. Transparently good. Obviously needed commitment from his family and later his carers but the rewards were great. Laughing to crying ratio was 1:1,000,000 or less.David Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654455663519806899.post-10358708410333066512013-10-18T05:37:08.878-07:002013-10-18T05:37:08.878-07:00AWESOME post - we are trying to adopt a child with...AWESOME post - we are trying to adopt a child with Ds and facing much difficulty by her country - please pray!!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807222294499642948noreply@blogger.com
