[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure. I have a good friend whose child has DS and it is HARD. Obviously nothing is guaranteed in life but they aren't sure if he will ever live independently (I don't know how high-functioning he is compared to others - I would guess mid-range). His mother's life is very, very difficult. He does bring joy to the family, of course, but it is a long and complicated road. It also has severe effects on their other, older, neurotypical child. Do you know if you don't adopt this child what the wait would be like for another?[/quote]
