I presented abortion as a moral alternative and left it at that quite clearly stating that it wasn't my choice. i think that carrying the child to term and raising it is also perfectly moral. What I have emphatically opined about is the immorality of giving the baby up for adoption when it's perfectly within the parents ability to care for it. This is exactly what you were seeking, was it not?
Let me change the scenario a bit to steer clear of the 'A'-word.
Let's imagine our happy couple had a perfectly healthy girl who attained the age of seven before suffering an accidental traumatic brain injury rendering her in all respects the same as a child born with a mental disability. Keeping with the parents stated means to care for such a child, would it be moral to then give up the child because it becomes too emotionally distressing for the parent? I say no.
