“How do you deal with the possibility that you could be a ‘forever mom,’ that is, that Polly and Evangeline may never leave home?” a young mom asks me after I finish sharing our family’s story with her MOPS group.
I get this question often. It makes sense. I have children with special needs. We are unsure of the future. Will they live on their own or at home? What will it be like to care for adults with disabilities as opposed to young children?
