Adoption of mentally impaired babies

[Godscreated]

Maybe you are all happy together GC, and it's a good thing to support others like you are doing. But personally, I'd prefer not to bring in a disabled child in this world if possible, because whether you can accept it or not, disabled people especially those who'll have to depend on others for their entire lives, normally suffer a lot in our society. Sure, a loving family, a good support net can help a disabled person enjoy as much happiness as a normal person, but in most cases that is temporary. Parents do not live forever, and once they are gone, life for a disabled person can easily become far worse than what you imagine hell to be.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't help or love the disabled that are already among us, but I feel it is also not right to willingly bring them in and force them to suffer through life when it can be prevented.

Have you ever worked with or lived with a mentally disabled person, if no then you're speculating. What right does anyone have in saying this child should live and that one should be murdered. Once parameters are set they can easily be changed to suit the moment, then it could get down to small physical disabilities such as a deformed hand. We fought against this type of thinking in WWII when Hitler and his Nazi pals wanted to breed a super-race and eliminate what they considered the undesirable race. Is the world going to now accept and normalize what once was labeled atrocities. We to date have not met one person who has demeaned our "baby girl," to the contrary she has received nothing but respect. She goes out into the community shopping with my wife several times a week so her exposure to people is quite high, we do not try and shelter her from the public that would be cruel. Not only that she would want to know why she can't go out then what is one to say, your not suitable for the public or people will make fun of you, her question to that would be why. You see she doesn't see herself as different, an example here, recently my uncle became very ill and we took her with us to visit with him and before we knew it she was trying to comfort his family in her own way, everyone realized what she was doing, is this the kind of heart you would eliminate from the world. In the two plus years she's been with us you could write a book on her relationship with other people. We do realize she is far from what people consider normal, it's just that we do not treat her that way and the result is a well adjusted young lady who by her own will loves others. There are to many bad people in this world to deny it of such caring and love.
