I know that it is there job to suggest options but to be so forward in his reaction is just wrong. It was your decision. My mom too was given the option to abort my sister. She chose not to. She told me at the time that she would prefer to lose her own life. I have a vibrant "crazy" loving 22 year old sister. I can't imagine life without her had my mom agreed. You did what you felt was right.

I can't fathom people being as cold hearted as that doctor. Sami is not an "it." She has touched many peoples' lives. I can understand you feeling connected with the disabled child. Sami had great worth - she will always be your lovely baby girl with beautiful dark curly hair and soft skin. xoxoxoSarita Boyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114918446765517683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489893954801724761.post-40858885346915785202010-07-21T20:16:18.485-07:002010-07-21T20:16:18.485-07:00I wish I remembered the title, but I once read a (...I wish I remembered the title, but I once read a (fictional) book about a doctor who delivered his wife's baby and when he realized she had down syndrome he gave her to his nurse with instructions to dispose. The story is about how the mother (who had been told her daughter was stillborn) doesn't get over the loss and the nurse who instead of "disposing" the baby raises her. It's beautiful--it reaffirms how you feel. Good luck and God bless.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204227173856542282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489893954801724761.post-5731405138374902562010-07-21T17:47:50.696-07:002010-07-21T17:47:50.696-07:00Lisette, I can't believe that is what your doc...Lisette, I can't believe that is what your doctor said that!

When I did my student teaching, hald of my training was done at a special education early childhood center. I got a chance to be around some children with severe disabilities and they were the sweetest. How dare that Doctor say such a cruel thing to you. Your baby girl is not an it. She had a life and deserved to be love and you showed all the love that you could give. That shows your true strength. I pray that emotionally things will get easier.renfo82https://www.blogger.com/profile/07239658519418125197noreply@blogger.com
