| Erma Bombeck's piece 'The Special Mother' |
Many people say that 'special children are only born to special parents', or those that are strong enough to cope.
Others assert that 'special babies choose their parents carefully'.
Maybe this is said to boost us, or make us feel we can deal with what life throws at us, but sadly I've heard enough stories about children with disabilities in my time who are unloved, unwanted or maltreated to be rather suspicious of either of these statements.
