We have adopted 4 little girls, all born to Jewish mothers (and fathers, too). Yes, they all came to us with special needs. Two of our daughters have genetic disorders which will be lifelong. Our identical twins, though, most likely will overcome their challenges and live more usual lives--a surprise to their doctors and their birthmother who did not, indeed, expect this outcome!
I encourage everyone interested in adopting a Jewish child to consider parenting a child with special needs. It is very rewarding!
