[blparent] experiences of blind parents with more than one smallchild

[Amanda Winkler]

I would also like to hear from blind couples with multiple children because 
I am in the same predicament about having another child.  When I consider 
how it would be to accomplish all the tasks that need to be done with two 
little ones and both parents being totally blind it makes the decision 
harder to make.
