[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the posts. I have a child with SN and I find the Welcome to Holland thing obnoxious. Having a child with SN cannot be compared to a trip to Europe where you frolick with tulips.

I won't go into depth about what it's like, but if I knew this child would have these issues I would not have aborted. He is amazing-challenging, yes, exhausting at times, yes, but incrediblem. However, I have the life circumstances that make it possible to handle the SN and keep my sanity, though I still have come close to losing it at times. I have a good husband, a supportive family and though it is a stretch and we sometimes get help from family we can afford the hours and hours of intervention. I realize not everyone is as lucky as I am. I not only have the support, but I have a child who has the potential to live independently, he is completely mobile and blossoming.

I have never met a woman who talks about aborting a child with a severe disability lightly. It is not my place to judge. I haven't walked in that person's shoes. I count my blessings and wish others only the best. This is not an easy road.
