Adoption of mentally impaired babies

[FatAndFaithless]

Do I think it's wrong morally?  Yeah, I do.  Would I think less of them?  I certainly would.

Can you explain why you think it would be wrong/why you would think less of them?

I suppose I'm looking at it from my perspective of being a parent (which I am not currently...as far as I know).  It's hard for me to articulate exactly why, but carrying a fetus to term when one knows it will be disabled, then immediately giving it up for adoption because one feels one can't "handle" it while clearly having the financial/social means to do so...just seems off to me.  I'll say what I'm sure a lot of people are thinking, and that if I found out that my pregnant partner was carrying a fetus that would have some severe mental disability (such as down syndrome), and it was early enough in the pregnancy to be possible (depending on the state/country), I would prefer the fetus to be aborted.

And I might've spoke a bit strongly when I said I'd "certainly think less of them."  I know that everyone is in different situations with different circumstances, but bringing another...unwanted? mentally disabled child into the world who then is forced to rely on the uncertain charity of others just to survive..doesn't seem cool to me.
