In one sense, as a vehement advocate for the rights of individuals with disabilities, it leaves me with a disturbed feeling. In another, I am also a parent of a child with multiple special needs and one thing I've learned on this road is that I can't sit on my ivory tower and make judgments about what other people decide they can or cannot handle. I think they love their daughter dearly and they are doing what they feel is best for them. I'm pretty pro-choice when it comes to most issues, and although this is different and slightly disturbing, when push comes to shove, I have to think that the parents are doing what they feel is best and are doing it out of love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927097159499432650noreply@blogger.com
