You can learn so much from growing up with a sibling with special needs

Earlier this year I read about the controversial surrogacy case in Australia where the parents opted to reject one of the twins that had been born to a surrogate mother. The twin they rejected has Down’s Syndrome.

I struggle to find the words to describe then how I felt then and still feel about that couple’s reaction.

I felt sickened, disappointed. But most of all, I felt sad. I felt sad for the parents of the newborn baby and for the baby.
