Honestly don't know, I just don't want to be taking care of someone for rest of the life..as mean as this sounds, also the kid would probably not have an enjoyable and fair shot at life
Spin: would you get an abortion if...

Bringing a child into the world is a already selfish decision.. knowing before hand said child will not live a normal life.. nah.. I can't get with that, but to each his own.
You'll end up giving him/her a shyt life while complicating yours even more... no wins.. just losses.

Exactly, that is one of the biggest things when you have a special needs child. Who else is going to have your patience? You hear about adults being abused all the time. Even at those special needs adult day cares. It's like having the worries you would of an infant for 30, 40, 50+ years. My friends brother died a few years ago, he was in his early 30's and honestly I know it was a relief to his parents. They were getting old and he was heavy and still strong. You should never want to outlive your child. That's horrible.
that's kind of like the foster/adopted 'kid' my grandparents have. She was shaken as a baby, and is severely disabled. She's in a wheel chair type of thing. She's about 14 now, and as dumb as this sounds, I never thought about severely disabled women getting periods...... Honestly....
I would just pray that the Lord would grant me wisdom and strength in a situation like that....
I have a classmate who got pregnant at 16 with a severely disabled child and we are in our 30s now...
The little girl is wheel chair bound and intellectually challenged... The little girl needs 24 hour supervision for life....
I ...... Don't think I am built for that
This girl is physically 14, but mentally probably a year old. She can't speak, can't walk, can't do anything. My grandparents are now at the point where they're getting to the point where they can't really take care of her (grandfather has COPD, and now pneumonia). My mom was telling them it's time for her to be put in a home, but they don't want to do that.
I said all of that to say, I'm not built for that either. And realistically, I don't think most people are.
eta: her chair is something like this.

Yes. I'm a huge supporter of abortion in general
If she pregnant it's to the chop shop
I don't change diapers I change drop tops

AL loves da kids : )
My mother used to work for an adult dare care/nursing home as a mental health nurse. One of the women there was shaken as a baby and abused. She was 26 when my mother worked there. She would take off her clothes in front of everyone , or just sit down and urinate on herself. She would go to the rooms and allow the male residents to touch her inappropriately. She would just start masturbating in front of people. She had to be put on birth control. My mothers best friend works as a special education teacher and she has to deal with a lot when it comes to teaching special education children.
The sad part about mentally disabled girls is that there are people out there looking to take advantage of them sexually. You have to watch over them constantly because they do not even know when they are being taken advantage of.

Sounds like your family ain't about shyt if their trying to put her in a home. That's trifling, if her own family doesn't care enough about her to properly take care of her, what do you expect from leaving her in the care of strangers?
No, regardless of the cards that are dealt I wouldn't.
It would suck for me as a parent probably way more than the kid because of the extra responsibility and that me just bein honest.
People that grow up with disabilities are incredibly mentally strong people most of the time. It's always an inspiration to see people with minor and major disabilities from birth be so positive about life when they have more reason than most to be jaded.
This type of thing is usually more stress for the parents than the child.

If I found out my kid was a retard I'd make my wife give it away.
