I have just watched a TV program about two parents with cerebral palsy and the birth of their second child.

Edge of the seat stuff, hope you can catch it on Iplayer, well worth a watch.

We wont drop the baby

Hi Bruv...I think it is honorable that a couple with cerebral palsy want to have children and are raising them; wheel bound chair or not they are doing double duty to ensure their children are well and happy! And it is their freedom and right to do so; is CP gene related? Hopefully not. Gotta give them some credit....most people without physical/ neurological issues can not seem to raise a child.

Both children are healthy and unaffected by their parents problems.

The father is a wheel chair bound comedian the wife has mobility problems but gets around unaided.

Neither want their parenting to be seen as heroic or struggling to overcome hardship, amazingly normal people considering.
