Special Needs Parents Letter *edit*

This swap is International, but I may do a USA only one later on.
To take part in this swap, you MUST be the parent of a child with special needs. The child can be any age, any diagnosis, but you must be the parent of the child, and be willing to share the diagnosis.

Note: all children and parents are special, but that is not the meaning of the swap! You need to be a parent of a child who has needs or needs care for illnesses or conditions. Such as: autism, physical difficulties or handicaps, cancer, surgeries, sight or hearing impairment; children who require daily therapy (physical, occupational, or speech ...), etc....

The requirement is to write a letter to your partner introducing yourself and child(ren) who has/have special needs, how you deal with it, etc ... I have one son who is yet un-diagnosed, and one son who had a brain tumor removed less than a year ago. I've found it difficult to find people who have any understanding of what life is like now. I thought it might be nice to meet and share thoughts, ideas, and support. :)

The requirement is only a letter (about 2 pages, let's say, handwritten or typed). But, hopefully we'll make new friends to share feelings and understanding with!

I've had to move the sign up and mail by dates for this swap. I apologize for any problems this causes.
