gosh, that must have been so difficult for your mother. no offense, but if i found out my child had a disability, i would be devastated too. even though i know disabilities don't stop a person from becoming whatever they want to be, most parents have the expectation of having "perfect" children and i know i would be no different in that respect.
i'd love to find my birth parents, but in some ways, i'm afraid of rejection. although my natural parents knew i was totally blind from birth, i'm afraid of spending alot of time searching for my parents only for me to find out one or both of them are deceased or don't want to see me. i don't know if i could handle that kind of news or rejection, so right now, i'm wavering between wanting to search for them and not wanting to search for them.
