Just commenting on some of the things that are happening with the economy & health issues. I have a daughter with cerebral palsy and she has been out of school for four years now and I have been trying to get her into some kind of classes or program. I call and they tell me that all I can do is wait. that sometimes it takes up to five years to get a response from anyone. we have been waiting about three years now. I had an older son that passed away from cancer two and half years ago and she was very close to him and has gotten depressed. I do everything to try and make my family happy and not so sad from everything that happened. I have my days where I just cry and wish everything that is happening would just stop and that my family could be ok again. We love each other and take care of one another. I really hope that the next coming year is a better one for us all.

Thanks to all moms who responded. With over 80 stories and about 25 pictures my www.momsincommon.org web site has been a big hit. Please keep the stories coming in especially about the holiday season and raising a child with multiple medical/developmental issues. Also we have over 200+ fans on facebook with a lot more stories to share. Looking forward to reading YOUR story.

Hello, I am a 32 y/o mother of a 4 y/o boy with speech delay and ADHD. His father and I have him enrolled in a special needs preschool program. He is making progress I'm glad, hope to get him to where he needs to be before he starts kindergarden.

Hi ladies,
I may not be a mother of a special needs child but have dedicated my life to working with these special kids. There is not a day that goes by that I haven't learned some awsome lesson about myself and the world in general through "my" kids eyes. I just wish some of the polititions who make the big decisions on funding could spend a day in my class. You ladies know what would happen. Positive needs would be met or heads would roll. And if the new health care bill passes I truely fear what the future holds. I am in awe of the lives special families live. What miricals in angel form did God send?

Hello everyone. I'm a mom of a older special needs son, age 31. I sure wish the internet was around when he was younger, as folks with normal, healthy children/adults don't really know what we go through.

Our son is blind in his left eye, deaf in his right ear,mentally handicapped, non-verbal, hyperactive, autistic, has seizures, and was born with only one kidney, causes of above remain unknown.

I've always attended church, where our son goes to the adult men's class with his daddy.

Again, just wanted to say hello to everyone.
