Adoption of mentally impaired babies

[Catholic_Lady]

The attitude and mindset of that sort of parent is really fucked up. They're want a kid just not a disabled kid. Never mind that your kid could start out perfectly healthy and become disabled later. Are you gonna ditch a sick kid at the hospital the minute you find out they have brittle bone, or cp, or they're deaf? What's that? No? Because that would make you an asshole. But it's just acceptable to ditch developmentally delayed kids. Maybe certain people don't need kids.

That's a good point.

I think at that point though, you'd already be so emotionally invested in your child, and would already love them so much, that giving them to different parents would bring more emotional pain than taking care of them. Also a big difference would be that the child would already know their biological parents and it would be extremely cruel to separate from them. So the circumstances would be very different. This should all be about what's best for the child.
