i love all kids no matter what and my parents are foster parents and it is tough at times i know but they have a little boy they are adopting it will be final on the 5th of july i begged my parents to adopt this boy he has a lot of problems and they didnt want to at all but i kinda put it to them like this about 8 months ago you didnt get to choose me or my real siblings and if we were born and something was wrong with us would you have not wanted us and that did it for them i mean its not the kids fault and i love the kid we have been through a lot with him and we are his family he is 6 and the sad part is is that everysince the day he came to live with my parents he has told them they are his parents and he doesnt know or remember oer chooses not to remember anyone else. my mother asked him about changing his name and he said well if thats what you named me then thats what i want to be called . i mean seriusly if you had the chance to adopt a handicaped child would you and if your child was handicaped would you love them any less???????????????????????????????

You and your parents are wonderful people making this a better world because of it. If any of my children had a handicap I wouldn't love them any less. My husband and I do plan on becoming foster parents when our children are grown and we don't plan against discriminating against any child. They all need to be loved.

I am disabled myself. I plan to adopt kids, because it is healthier for my skeleton than having them biologically. I want to adopt kids with disabilities just so I can make sure they get everything they need to be independent, happy, and productive mem. I'll be a Mom from Hell- a crazy disability, rights organization of activist mothers, both able-bodied and disabled with special needs kids- with insurance companies, doctors, and durable medical equipment (like whhelchairs and walker) companies.

I have 4 children. Two of them are "disabled." Of the two handicapped children, one is adopted. I love them both. I think special-needs adoption is a wonderful thing. I can't imagine my life without the handicapped child I adopted. He is beautiful. If anyone is interested in adoption check out my how-to article at:

P.S. I fostered before adopting. Adoptive parenting is much better than foster parenting! IMHO!

there are no IFs... the if word is ugly on this issue... it shouldn't exist... I mean the adoption thing it's a delicate thing... either you do it either you don't... there is no if, no condition no nothing... just yes or no... yes I want and I'm capable to help a hid... and no I don't want nor am I capable of helping... why? because a kid it's not an object... he is a human being with feelings and like you sad its not a kid fault... so yes or no...
in my case, I'm to young to answer that question, but when I'll be old enough I'll answer it;)
