[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a a different parent with a 10 year old child who has a rare chromosomal abnormality, I would urge you to have your baby. My son is autistic, has epilepsy, intellectual limitations. He is still MY son, my baby, and he is still a JOY to his father, to me, and to his siblings. It is, perhaps, a paradox, that with a more objectively undesirable situation, I have become a more peaceful, light-hearted person, but it is true. All things…[/quote] That absolutely can be true and it can also be true that someone does not want to take on that burden AND commit other people to that burden (siblings). In a family I knew the adult T21 died alone in a group home. No siblings or family ever visited once the parents were gone. T21 is also a spectrum disease. One I know was hospitalized for 6+ months with severe heart defect repairs. One died 2 months after birth from the necrotizing disorder that's more common with T21. [/quote]
