I think that this is the hardest thing for a mother having to make that kind of a decision. But i believe that it is the best one. You have to think about their life, which could very well be so long. I am 20 years old and I lost my baby girl at my fourth month, she had trisonomy 22. When i found out what it was, i would have made the very same decision, not because i couldn't live with a baby like that, because i and any mother would love their child no matter what it looked like, but becuase of them. Because many people have abortions because they are afraid that they don;'t have enough money to support their child. i do no believe in that because God gave me 2 hands and 2 feet to work and carry my family. But in this case if God won't give my child all the abilities to carry their life to the fullest, i believe that it is my job as a mother, to give my baby a fair oportunity with life and not this one. It is terrible I suffered very very much, and i will never forget it. But in my heart i have her everyday with me. And i am happy she did not have to face so many dificulties that were coming to her. I wish you the best.. and I hope you will find the strenght in yourself to overcome this, and keep going.
