Today at lunch, I told everyone that I sit with, if I happened to have a mentally retarded child, I'd probably give it up for adoption. What is your opinion on this?
I honestly don't think I'd be able to handle and/or take care of a retarded child. And I don't mean physically retarded or slightly mentally challenged, I mean full on non-functional.

Something like; "If I had a child that was mentally ill, I don't think I would be able to properly take care of it. I would probably consider giving them to a family that could."
