Abstract
- The birth of a child who has a handicap is a great disappointment for parents. Their baby does not meet the expectations that they developed during the past nine months. What they value in their lives and parenthood has been tossed in the air. Parents may face emotional problems and difficulties in the upbringing of their child with mental retardation. They may also be confronted with fundamental questions regarding the meaning of life of their child and of their own lives as parents.
