newly diagnosed

When you dream of becoming a parent , you never think that "you " will become that of a disabled child.  At first it is devastating, for you.  You lay on a guilt trip, you cry your eyes out, you think what am I going to do.  You will think the worst.  And when all that is through you will look into those baby eyes and say this makes me love you no less, only more...........

You will find strengths inside yourself that you never knew you had.  Take one day at a time, and remember that this child is your miracle......... Best of luck and to a miraculous future, welcome to CHASA! - Kristy (written by a parent from the CHASA email list)
