If a couple knows they couldn't handle a difficult child or a child with special needs, should they not have

Question

children? They could handle an average child without special needs though.

Answer 1

I think people know their limits and should adhere to them (especially when it concerns someone's life). I do believe that there are people who can muster a lot of strength that they didn't know they had when it comes to a loved one but if they really believe they couldn't handle it, they should probably avoid it. There are many other ways to involve yourself in a child's life (big brother big sister, teaching, volunteering at camps etc....)

Answer 2

if i was pregnant with a disabled baby i would have an abortion - no questions asked , i have extreemly strong belifes about keeping seriously handicaped poeple alive.

Answer 3

No, I don't think they should.  If they can't love and care for their children unconditionally, then they shouldn't become parents.

Answer 4

no, I don't think they should. You shouldn't bring a child into the world that you can't take care of.  

Answer 5

It depends on how mature the parents are. Many times parents think they "could not handle" another couple's child, but it is quite different if the child is their own. If the couple is immature, they shouldn't have children...even gifted children would be a problem for them...and the child.

Answer 6

they could still have children, snd if then that child is difficult then they could think about addoption or something like that...x
