It’s no news that physically challenged individuals don’t get the same privilege as every other able bodied persons. Do physically kids get adopted?

Many people would want to, but it all depends on what the disability is. Having a child with disability can be really tasking, it’s not something that one person can handle. You need to have a supportive family, and you need have enough money to provide a nice home and all the things that they need to be a regular person and feel adequate with themselves. Adopting a child with a disability is going to be quite a challenge but I’m sure if you’re considering it then you probably have the skills and the ability to handle. Just remember that you need to know your resources prior to making any decision so that if it’s too hard on you at least you can call for help and you will know who to call.
I think justice has been done to the question with the previous answer. Really, as a prospective adopter it’s important to be realistic about the skills you have, the skills you can learn, your personal circumstances, the type of home you live in and your support network. I did consider adopting one with my ex husband few years ago, our house had 26 stairs from kitchen to bedroom, no bedroom is on the same level as a toilet or bathroom, the hallway is too narrow for wheelchairs, the garden is inaccessible. So we could not have adopted a child who was not able to navigate stairs. We both work – we both have to work to be able to afford to live in London – so we could not have adopted a child who needed round the clock care. We were both well over 40 – so we decided that we could not adopt a child who would not have a good chance of living independently as an adult. People who are able to give them a loving and stable home are desperately needed and deserve all the help they can get.
