[quote=Anonymous]Did you consider embryo adoption (or using donor egg)? It's less costly than average domestic adoption and some programs include guarantee. Or using a gestational carrier for husband's genetic connection. I admire you for considering this adoption but as others said, I don't think it would be fair to your older child. He can develop empathy for SN kids by befriending them or volunteering. One of my son's best friends is moderately autistic, mostly non verbal but they manage to have fun together as boys do. We had family friends with a DS son. He was very involved in the community and Church, held a job etc. Sadly, his parents outlived him. Best to you and your family![/quote]
