I'm 11 weeks pregnant and with twins.
I'm 37 years old and the doctors did test because they think my babies may have down syndrome. I do not want to terminate my pregnancy, but just wanted to know if it is harder for children with special needs to get adopted.

Victoria, Hi, I adopted 2 children at birth. I knew Trinity had special needs at the time of her birth. She has Down Syndrom. I did not hesitate to continue with her adoption. She is the most loving easy going child i know. There are many loving people whom would accept a child and love and care for it, no matter what. Gina

Victoria, I am Terrie an adoptive mom,. myself and my family is very comfortable with many special needs, not everyone is but it is amazing how many are open to this unknown. I also work with an special needs group so If I can get you information etc feel free to email me. Also sometimes just support of the emotional kind is helpful Best wishes and god bless you and your child.

Victoria, first of all sit back, take a deep breath, and relax. I know exactly what your going through. In September, 1998 I gave birth to a child who eventually developed special medical needs (he had a feeding tube implanted when he was 4 1/2 months old) as well as other issues related to a genetic condition the birth father nor I was aware even existed in our families. I was, as you can imagine, afraid that he would be a ward of the state until he was 18. But I now know that a family in another state opened their hearts and their home to my special little guy. He is now 6 and every night I thank God for this wonderful family.
