My daughter is 17 with SB, and I can honestly say now that her birth
was a blessing. Had we known about the SB prior to her birth, we
probably would have aborted-- what a mistake that would have been!

Disabled kids are a true gift, and it will only make all of you
stronger, better people. My daughter is bright, pretty, outgoing,
walks, ice skates, plays golf, and just enjoys life. (When she was
born, the neurosurgeon told us "she will never walk, she'll be
wheelchair bound, and you should consider putting her up for
adoption". Thank God we didn't listen!

disabled child.....
