That's a lot for you to take on-responsibility, surgeries, side effects of his mother's pregnancy and financial considerations. He'd be lucky to have you but consider the impact on your lives from his age now to at least 21, if not longer. He may need life-long support. Yes, it's hard to predict and he could surprise you and medical personnel (I keep telling that to a young mom who has a 3 yr. Old, 2yrs.+ corrected). Her MDs gave her bleak outlooks too soon, I thought, and her daughter is progressing well with supportive therapies. I think doctors cover themselves by giving all possible info. In case. It's hard to predict. I was supposed to be blind and/or brain damaged, was not, have 2 degrees+ and was a professional for 37 yrs. I'm fortunate my parents wanted me after waiting 11 yrs., 69 yrs. Ago. Give him a chance, rewards could be huge.
