In response to a query about a brother and sister-in-law adopting a child with suspected disabilities, the article emphasizes that all parents enter parenting unaware of the complete demands it entails. It suggests that while the uncle may have concerns regarding the child's development, he should not assume the parents are ignoring the potential challenges. The support from social workers likely provides an understanding of the child's current and future needs, underscoring the complexities of adoption and child-rearing.
No parent, biological or adoptive, goes into parenting knowing exactly what it will require of us; 'what we had in mind all those years' gets thrown out the window fairly quickly.
I wouldn't assume that your brother and sister-in-law are totally ignorant of the needs of the baby they want to adopt. They are probably also working with social worker(s) who have given them a whole lot more information than you're privy to.
