I may have taken your first post out of context. Indeed severe disability's are expensive and time consuming for parents. We did not know the extent of our 2nd baby's issues until well after all was said and done.

But the same can be said for any parent facing their own child's problems. It doesn't mean we (collectively) can't or don't love them all the same

We are more fortunate than some in that the disabilities "may" not be as severe as a Downs or major retardation, but it is scary when your baby of 18mo. sits on the floor and stares out the window, showing no signs of crawling or walking.
We were/are blessed to have good insurance and an amazing program thru the state for "Infants and Toddlers". Our Angel is now in a special preschool w/ an amazing lady and aide and should be in regular classes about 1 yr behind her "peers".
There is a battle ahead for us on many fronts, including the racial issues our family faces. My son is bringing those items to bear at the age of 6.
