“So it’s all about the parent not about the child!”
Yep, that comes through loud & clear.
Good luck to any children these people do have, I certainly hope they can fulfill their parents wishes for happiness and self-fullfilment!
The judgments people make on the value of an individual’s life because they may not be like everyone else is both appalling but also shows their own lack. One has to wonder whether they are a burden to the rest of us because of their selfishness, lack of insight and compassion.
My nephew, Joseph, has Down Syndrome. He opens my eyes to the humor and wonder in life whenever I see him - he is worth no more and no less than any other human being but what he does bring is wonderful because he makes me value life a little more and he gives me a different perspective on what is beautiful and important. I feel sorry for people who cannot see that and who would not welcome a child like him into their lives.
My brother and Sister-in-law have not always found it easy to raise him and I am sure they have had to come to terms with the fact that life will always mean the 3 of them. But they have been gifted with so much more than they could have ever dreamed in Joseph. What a poor world it would be if we only kept the children we deemed as perfect in our own eyes!
