I post regularly on thenest.com - there were a couple posts, and soon a lot of the forums were lit up with this topic.
A girl started a post about her unborn child being tested for illness/disabilities/etc. Basically, she said that if she knew her child would have Down's Syndrome, she would abort the baby. Made a lot of people upset. I won't get into the rest of it, but there was a story that was posted that really really hit me hard. I cried sooo hard, it was beautiful. In light of all the laws now being passed about abortion, I would just say - we never know what our decisions might truly be until we are faced in that situation. I just wish so many wouldn't turn to abortion and give those who cannot have children a chance to love a child that deserves parents who will love them unconditionally. We also never know what our reactions to things might be either. This story just tells about Nella's birth and how her Mom felt at the time. Nella has Down Syndrome. If you read, please prepare with several boxes of tissues!
