People Always Say “As Long as the Baby is Healthy.” But if She’s Not, Will You Love Her Less?
“So are you hoping for a boy or a girl?” “It doesn’t matter as long as the baby is healthy.” This is the conversation that I listened to as I stood next to my special needs sister. I bet you have heard this line before; or possibly even said it yourself. Most people do not seem to think through this statement, so I am going to bring up a few things that you may have not thought about.
