For those who still think aborting special needs babies is necessary in order to spare them, and the parents, burden, pain, and difficulty, Hartman had this to say:

Here’s what I can tell you: Many times people speak about special needs as being a negative and I’ve seen it as nothing but a positive. My daughter and I are much closer than we would have ever been because of her special needs. Morgan is someone who has taught in a very positive way not just my wife and myself and our family, but also other people about the importance of life.

And because Morgan was the spark that inspired Gordon Hartman to create a world where she belonged, other special needs children and their families now have a place of belonging and welcome too.
