[QUOTE="Malika, post: 474313, member: 11227"] This is not the place for this debate but I think the idea of children having to be "wanted" and planned is rather a dangerous illusion - dangerous because it risks causing all concerned more harm than good in the end. Really I think all beings should be "welcomed", which is rather a different idea, and is kind of what you are saying about your son. You want him to be welcomed, however he is and whatever the nature of his coming. This is what heals and liberates in the end, isn't it? Adopted or biological, it is irrelevant, and the child is an innocent part of it all. Your son did not choose his handicaps and he is deserving of more love, not less, because of them. But we are all only human... and some people do not see things through the eyes of compassion or wisdom. [/QUOTE]
