Re: Would you abort if you knew your kid would have a severe developmental disability?

(Anonymous) 2017-12-15 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Probably, although I might feel like shit about it depending on what exactly the issue was. I have two living blood relatives, four relatives total, and all of them are my parents’ generation and likely to die way before me. I’m 34 and a virgin who’s never even held hands with a guy, so I’m not likely to marry into a big family. I have very few friends, none of them close. Even assuming I went to a bar and found someone desperate enough to knock me up tonight, by the time the kid was born I’d be 35. I don’t know if I could be a single parent to an able bodied mentally gifted kid, nevermind if they had special needs, and I’d hate to think of what would happen when I grew too old and/or feeble to care for them. If I had a kid, disabled or developmentally delayed or not, I’d have to care for and raise them, and I doubt I could do it alone.
