[quote=Anonymous]OP---I think it is selfish to consider adopting a SN child without seriously thinking through the impact of that adoption on the child that you have. You are saddling your biological child with lifelong responsibility: when you are dead and gone---it is your bio child that will have to shoulder the responsibility for the SN child's care. As an over-50 adult, I have several friends whose parents have passed, leaving them responsible for their siblings with Down's. That is a significant responsibility and you are constraining your bio child's options in adulthood by setting them up with a substantial care burden once you are gone. [/quote]
