To some degree I don't believe children should make this choice. I am an adoptive and bio mother, so I have been on both sides. My children are all equal no matter how they came to the family. Even bio children can come with issues, so it should make no difference what the issues of the foster/adopt child are. That being said, if you were to get preg. would you abort because one of your children didn't want you to have the baby?
