mmmkay....this is a hard question. I would hope, like all other people, that I would never be put into a situation where I had a child with a disability...But it does happen, and it could very well happen to me. I honestly couldn't know what exactly I'd say unless I WAS in the situation, I would like my child to live as normal as possible....but when they were old enough, and at a point where they would understand, I would tell them about their disability, and help them live as normal of an adult life as they could with it. I could never stand to, or hear anyone else use the "retarded" when referring to a handicaped child.
