and some of these children get adopted with no problem at all.
A few years back, the sister of a colleague gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. The new mom and dad thought they did everything right during the pregnancy and were completely floored to find out that the child was born with Downs Syndrome. (withholding comments about Mom and Dad) the parents decided that they just couldn't deal with the stresses and all that was associated with no having a perfect child (It still kills me that there are people who think this way) and put the child up for adoption thru a Catholic organization. the child, with all her problems, was adopted out in moments.
