This paper develops the theme of care which was begun in chapter 9. Here Hauerwas focuses on the importance of the family in the process of caring for people with developmental disabilities. He explores the motivation behind parenting and offers some piercing insights into why we have children and the ways in which our motivation for having children impacts upon the experience of having a child with a developmental disability.
