Hi I'm a 27 year old women who with CP I never knew if it was possible for someone like me to have a child. And at times it seems like some far away dream, a fantasy too good to be true. But now thanks to you I know that it is possible!!! Now all I have oo do is find the man lol Thanks for giving me hope God bless you and your family

Believe it or not, it is almost midnight and i am very tired. But, the light has come up to me in the bus just driving me home after a busy day. I have also CP and I am mother of 2. They now are teenn-agers. I live with my great husband, he is non-disable ,, but diabetes. I find it some days very cruel because I think my son rejects me because of my disability. Maybe I am wrong. He doesnot want to have meals with me. One day, I will tell you more about me. I will dream of you, God sends you tonight in Mont eal through Abilities magazine. Thank you, Your daughter is beautiful, she musrt be a real sunshine in your life. Like to read you. Kindest regards, Marie-Josée

I loved your site. I didn't have time to check everything out, but you have a beautiful family. I have been involved with a man who is a quad for about 21 months now. We met online and we plan to marry. I have 3 teenagers 13, 14, and 15,,they love him to pieces. I can't wait to send this site to him. I've wanted to be able to have a child for him, but he remarked that he wasn't sure he would be able to participate enough in what it takes to raise a child. We may never have a baby of our own, but he s still a wonderful dad to the 3 children we have now. Thank you so much for sharing your life. God bless your family, and keep you in His care.

Your Crib Page is wonderful! My mother is in a wheelchair and is worried that she will not be able to help me if/when I have a child (she is hoping it will be sooner rather than later!). I found your Web site and printed out the information and it thrille her to see that it would indeed be possible for her to watch a child even from her wheelchair! You have a beautiful family! Best of luck!

What a great website. I am a post polio survivor, wheelchair user and mom of three grown kids. I wish there had been this kind of support in the 60's. I felt very alone when my able-bodied husband and I were having and raising our family. So many stor es to tell of birthing our own children to enjoying our grand children. Keep up the good work.

Hi Diana, I think your web page is neat. I think it's fantastic you have a child. I am a 38 year old woman with cp. It effects the right side of my body and I use a wheelchair. It also effects my speech a little. I just love kids. I feel it's so important that kids be exposed to people with disabilities, so many times nondisabled parents tend to keep their kids away from us for fear we will scare them. I say we should get to the kids before the parents do so they ealize we aren't that scary and that we're just like anyone else only thing is we may do thngs a little slower. Keep up the great life you have with your daughter and husband. Feel free to e-mail me at rplowman@gateway.net. Robin
