It's called Parenting Without Sight, and it's wonderful.  It's an 
illustrated booklet you can get for free from the NFB Marketplace.

You might also contact Through the Looking Glass.  It's an organization in 
California that specializes in rights for disabled parents.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

You should contact your state NFB president and they should know who can
help you with the situation. You may also want to get the new document about
parenting as a blind person on the NFB site. I don't know it's real name.

Subject: [blparent] blind parent's rights for custody of blind child

Hi Everyone,
My name is Virginia and I'm a blind mother in California of a 13 year old
boy who is also blind and learning disabled. I'm currently going through a
divorce, and my ex husband and his parent's are trying to fight for primary
custody of my son. Are there any laws or rights that I can show them for
disabled parent's? Is there anyone who can help me fight for my rights? I've
heard that the Nfb fights for custody cases like this, so I was wondering if
anyone in the Nfb can help me out? I already have a lawyer to represent me,
but she doesn't specialize in disability rights for blind parents rights.
Thanks!
Virginia
