[quote=Anonymous]Your first child is still very young. If I were you, I would wait a few years before deciding to have number 2 or not. Myabe wait till he is 5. By that time, you will know better what the future holds for your child. You will know if he is talking/walking, if he can go to a regular school or not...etc. If it looks like your child will never be able to live indepently, if he still has very severe delays, I personally would not have number 2 as number 1 would be such a big financial and emotional burden. I would say mostly the financial part would scare me, having to financially support your child for the rest of his life is a huge burden especially a child who needs lots of expensive therapy/services.[/quote]
