[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EXCELLENTLY. Our first has special needs. We decided to have a second to give him a chance to work on socialization skills within his own home; and to experience the joy of parenting a "normal" child. We could have had another child with special needs, and it took us some years to decide because of that. But DC2 is highly functional, quick-witted, musical and altogether a delight. I believe our firstborn would not have developed as well as he has were it not for his sibling constantly engaging him and interacting with him. They have a close bond. [/quote] PP, this is so awesome to hear. Our stories are very similar - our first has special needs, we took years to decide on a second, but eventually pulled the trigger for the same reasons you describe. It has worked out well so far, and fingers crossed my kids' close bond carries through to adulthood.[/quote]
