Special needs sounds so intimidating! I didn't consider special needs children at first. But I thought it was a good idea to see what kind of needs are out there, and get some information on them. I am so glad I decided to do that! Because now I am open to special needs children! And lets face it, MOST kids in orphanages will have some sort of SN. Whether its mental, physical, permanent or repairable with surgery, or treatable with meds. Chances are, something will be affecting them.
I will be honest though. There are some SN that I am not comfortable with and would not consider bringing into my home. I felt so guilty, so heartless, and mean!!!!!! But I realized (thanks to a new friend) that God made everyone to be able to handle different types of children. Just because I cant handle one need, does not mean that the child with that need, will not find a home. I cant beat myself up if I can not "rescue" all of the orphans in this world. God made us to be one body, with many parts! We all have to work together to find homes for SN children!
