Genetics and Parenting – Two Blogs

I wanted to point out two blog I just learned about, both from mothers who are working through the theological and practical aspects of living with and having children with disabilities.

Amy Julia Becker recently wrote a piece in Christian Century about her experience introducing her three year old with Down syndrome to several doctors-in-residence who came to observe her family. She keeps a nice log of life with her daughter and her journey through Princeton Theological Seminary.

The other is Ellen Dollar, a woman with a bone disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta, which her eldest daughter also has. She writes about life with her disorder and about the choices around reproduction when you know the possibility of passing on a disability to your offspring. She also has a book coming out in 2011 exploring questions in this vein. Check her out.
