[blparent] [Bulk] Re: Blind Parents Meeting

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I may have been more nervous about Social Services from hearing stories like 
the ones on this list, but I was also better prepared when the social worker 
and the two police officers knocked on my door.  I was horrified and angry, 
but I didn't feel alone.  I took the encounter more in stride than I might 
have if I hadn't known that many other blind parents have gone through the 
same ordeal.
