Adoption of mentally impaired babies

[FlyingNarwhal]

I don't really see a problem with giving a child up for adoption that is mentally impaired, no more than I would if the parents chose to abort the child because of the same issues. Especially if they don't think they will be able to deal with the emotional/mental stress. My mom works in special education, she's told me stories of great parents that go above and beyond for their children. Others just CAN NOT properly handle having a mentally impaired child. I'd rather see a couple that has the for sight to recognize that they would not be good parents, give up their child, rather than try to raise a child with disabilities that they can't handle because of some "noble" desire to trudge on through struggle. There are strong and weak people in the world.
