    You'll probably get a lot of letters from special-needs parents, like me, who will haughtily tell you that you chose to miss out on the biggest adventure of your life. But if I had had a choice -- if I had known what was ahead of us before my son was born -- I can't say whether I would have chosen him or let him go. I don't know.
