The mom of the triplets seemed like she was handling it really well

[@Cocoadarkmattershark]

that's because she has help. Bet she wouldn't be that well dispositioned if her parents kicked her out.

[@Miss420Princess]

Avery Brown she was a teen mom so she understands

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

S. T.S. I think you’ll find even fully fledged adults have help when they give birth to multiples. If she was ‘kicked out’ she’d have found a suitable mother & baby home / temp accommodation until she got herself a council house. I wouldn’t say her mum holding one of the triplets to feed while she had the other two was taking full responsibility - it’s called lending a hand. She’d have managed just fine. It certainly would have been a struggle with little support but I can’t see many parents kicking their daughter out when she’s found out she’s expecting multiples.

[@Cocoadarkmattershark]

@@LauraBidingCitizen When did I suggest that her mom was taking full responsibility?! When did I suggest she should be kicked out or couldn't make it on her own? You could've saved that whole speech had you read carefully and avoided putting words in MY mouth. I suggested she wasn't flustered because she had resources.

I have a cousin whose girlfriend abandoned him with the baby ten years ago and he's been a single parent since he was 17. My father stood by him and helped him find his footing because he didn't have a father in his life. It's rare but I think they do it so much because people don't demand more of them.

I have a lot of empathy for Charlotte. She is a child. And she is a child with behaviour issues and a difficult home life (let's not forget she was in a children's home cause her parents couldn't cope with her). If the comments are to trust, she put Sophie up for adoption, and I'm really happy to hear that. It's what is best, in my opinion, for both children, Sophie and Charlotte.

[@diane9247]

I am so relieved about that! I was just looking for some hint about what happened with poor little Sophie. The early maternal neglect causes permanent emotional damage and I hope her new parents are getting help with making up for lost time. I also wish the best to Charlotte.

@Susan Rosa Wondering if there's a genetic issue there - maybe on the Y chromosome - but they do seem to be fab people.

[@Angie-zk4ei]

@@jadenicole6326 They deserve to be loved, absolutely. But if you know you are a carrier for genetic defects that will make a child's life very difficult, you shouldn't be selfish to bring kids into the world when you know very well they're going to suffer from conditions. I really don't understand parents who have 4 kids with brain defects, for example, and keep having more. I find it super selfish.

[@BhappyD]

Angie While I agree to some extent, in this specific case, both Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy are usually not hereditary conditions, meaning they occur without being passed down by the parents. While Down Syndrome is technically a genetic condition, affecting the 21 chromosome, only 1% of all cases of Down Syndrome have a hereditary component (passed from the parent through genes). Cerebral Palsy on the other hand is not a genetic condition at all, and is usually the result of a complication that occurs during birth causing brain injury to the baby. It is not passed along through the DNA, and has no hereditary or genetic component. For the couple in this video, it seems that by chance they ended up with two disabled children, with two different conditions, both of which have an almost nonexistent chance of having anything to do with their hereditary DNA (CP having zero chance). While it’s rare for something like this to happen, it’s still possible, as we see here. Some may call it having horrible luck, but the couple shown here seems to feel very blessed to have two extraordinary children in which they see their potential rather than their limitations. The chance of them having another baby with DS or CP is no greater or less than anyone else. These conditions just happen. Of course there are certain factors that can make these things more likely to happen (old age, health status, etc), but given their young age and good health, it’s just a matter of chance, just like it would be for you or I. If they feel capable of raising and providing for another child, that is their choice, and seeing how responsible they are with their other children, it shouldn’t matter to anyone else. If they did have a hereditary condition that was passed down to both of their previous children, then I may agree with you, but that doesn’t appear to be the case here.
