Hi, I am a 31 year old divorced mother of a little girl with Down Syndrome and Congential heart defects. Can anyone offer any advice on dating with a special needs child? Has anybody gone through this before? Help!

Hi,

I am 32 and a mom to 3 kids w/special needs.

I have no clue how it works!!!

I have noticed that men(or people in general) are either fine w/ special needs and want to learn all they can about it,or they are ignorant and scared.

Is that your daughter in the pic?

Very cute!!
