  Here's an article you might find interesting; it underscores the concerns
you have about care for your daughter if you aren't around.  It's over two
years old, so hopefully steps have been taken to alleviate the conditions.
The people at the South Carolina P &A can give you the current picture on
that.

 An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
 -George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
