I don't believe in abortion, unless the baby has a problem that will really be hard to live with comfortably... I would have aborted the child who got stuck in a 6 month old body, how awful to live in such conditions :( and that's coming from someone who will probably never be able to be pregnant...

I do however think that it's perfectly fine to put the baby for adoption if the parents don't think they can handle it... it wouldn't be fair for the child either. It's true that life is not perfect and you deal with the cards you are dealt, but if you feel you can't make a child happy, I think it's probably best to consider adoption. Same reason really we are looking to adopt a healthy child... at least for the first one. Some people just lack the experience to take care of special needs child, IMO.

I have a 25 year old DS cousin who is so full of LIFE and LOVE. I can't imagine him not being around to make our family smile. He recently won a medal in the special olympics and works full-time as a bagger at a grocery store. He doesn't act his age more like a goofy 12 yr old :lol-sign: he is just such a joy to be around, always hugging everyone and telling us he loves us :) I had another aunt who was carrying a DS child quite a few years ago and she had a miscarriage, to her it was a blessing in disguise. I guess the baby had other things wrong with it besides being DS though. I will say a prayer for those folks, I hope they stay strong....:(

Update .... the gal that was hoping to adopt the little girl is broken hearted .The family picked the baby up yesterday . Hopefully , they will bond with her. There have been no answers to any letters sent out to the Grandma whose grand baby may be terminated . I could have been spam or a done deal ......sigh ...............

Great news !!! The Grandma DID answer and said that her DIL decided she want to keep the baby !!! Her son still wants to know of any bad sides ...as all the letters were so positive .
