If a couple is not "emotionally/mentally prepared" to handle a child with a moderate-to-profound disability "struggl[ing] through life" then I certainly would not judge them for choosing to give the child up for adoption.
If they were not in a position to ensure the child would receive their full support (as in, if keeping and raising the child was out of the question), I would prefer they chose an abortion to prevent that struggling in general - I think that would be a far more ethical, less complicated choice.
But if that's, for whatever reason, not an option, then... I can't say for certain it's wrong. I also don't feel comfortable saying it's right - the moral aspects are complicated and extremely highly ridiculously context-dependent.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
