Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell was ready to adopt her second child, until she got some unexpected news from the doctor. That’s when the birth mother, Jami Weaver, said the child was rejected.
Jami Weaver claims that the agreement fell through when she learned her unborn child was diagnosed with gastroschisis (a congenital deformity where the bowel protrudes through the abdominal wall) last summer.
'Rosie told me she could not handle having a special needs child,' she said.
Perhaps if she’d have done some research, O’Donnell would have discovered that babies with gastroschisis have a 90 percent survival rate, and the disorder can often be fixed with surgery.
Being such a public figure, O’Donnell had a real opportunity to show people that a child with special needs is of no less worth than a completely abled child. Some other high profile people, like US hockey player T.J. Oshie, did take the opportunity. Oshie’s daughter was diagnosed with the same condition, with her intestines born outside of her body. He and his wife must have been frightened when their tiny girl went into corrective surgery, but she came out just fine and is on her way to a happy, healthy life. Now, Oshie says his new little angel is even more rewarding than that game-winning goal he made in the USA versus Russia game during the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
“Lyla Grace shows up. She trumps everything.”
Governor Sarah Palin is another example of a parent who refused to give up on her child just because he was different from other kids. Her son Trig was diagnosed with Down syndrome early in her pregnancy. She admitted she was scared, yet she did not think twice about going through with the birth. In a culture in which 90 percent of children with Down syndrome are aborted, Palin's courageous and very public decision was much needed. Trig is now a 7-year-old superstar. Here’s just a small glimpse into Palin’s life with Trig:
It’s a sacrifice every parent and caregiver of a child with special needs sympathizes with. Families of children with special needs are bonded by a shared experience of the joys, challenges, fears, and blessings of raising these beautiful children whom we see as perfect in this imperfect world.
Every child comes with challenges, but every child deserves a chance.
Doesn’t have the finances for a special needs child?
She needs to elaborate on this.
This is one ugly individual, inside and out.
She’s lucky her parents weren’t so picky.
Hmmm
Well good, no child deserves that horrible burden of having to call Rosie O Donut ‘mom’.
Doesn’t want to appear “Palinesque” in front of her fellow travelers?
Father God,
We ask that You place this special child in a home with parents who will love him.
In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
Good point.
The baby is probably quite lucky.
Rosie O’Donnell’s Son Joined Military After She Left ‘The View’

… she revealed that Parker, her now 18-year-old son, will be attending the Citadel. The 9/11 truther snapped, “…How do you annoy your left-wing liberal pacifist mother? You become a big military man.”
O’Donnell admitted she interrogated her son as to why he made such a decision and he responded, “Only in America, mom, could somebody like you who came from a horrible childhood, grow up and adopt kids like me who needed a family and I owe something to this country.” In her typically loud tone, O’Donnell mock screamed, “No, my son. You owe something to me!
Stay angry, Rosie.
I not surprise what I understand Rosie always been self centered celebrity she drove her original talk show crew crazy with her demand so not suprising she is very demand to everybody around here
She is what you calling Demanding diva behind the scene
All children are “special needs” children.
Rosie O’Donnell is a special needs child.
Her special need is for attention-whoring.
WHOA there some mother and children issue with Rosie’s kid maybe kid want get away from her
Good for him
Give the kid a lifetime membership to the NRA and that would complete the deal...
I thought you all knew that having a child was like getting a pet dog. you got to find yourself one that is being bread by a healthy breeder
And there are thousands of fools (or more) who listen to Rosie O’Donnell.
What? Me worry?
Her ugly goes to the marrow.
