That is so rough. I have no idea what to say. Isn't 100 like normal/average? The thougt of a forever child is overwhelming to me. It seems almost worse in that he's smart enough to know you and need you, and be aware that he is different. Heavy duty. My girlfriend (she's like 50) has a Down's Sydrome brother whom she sometimes cares for when he's between providers. People ask if he's her son, though he's older than her.. He has the face and mind of a child. He's been in care since their parents died, but it seems as if her perfectly good life has been sacrificed to him. Losing his parents was a huge shock. He should have been in care before, because losing them almost killed him. My Pro-Life agenda add-on to Barron's is better genetic testing. You know those vegetable kids on the adoption sites? I feel terrible even saying this, but I can imagine loving one cause it smiles and is cute, but still running away from one. You know I care for my 97 year old granny, but I know there is an end in sight. She wants to die, but her body betrays her by living. All her friends are dead. It all seems so inequitable.
