Genetic Counselors are increasingly becoming involved in organizing and facilitating support groups for couples who have terminated a pregnancy because of an abnormal fetal diagnosis. This paper discusses recurrent themes which have emerged in the FATE (Feelings After the Termination Experience) support group which was founded in New Jersey in 1990. By becoming familiar with the issues we have observed in our support group, genetic counselors should be better able to understand and empathize with their patients who make the decision to terminate a much wanted pregnancy. They may also feel better prepared to become involved in organizing and facilitating such support groups.
遗传咨询师越来越多地参与到为因胎儿诊断异常而终止妊娠的夫妇组织和推动支持小组的工作中。本文讨论了1990年在新泽西州成立的FATE（终止妊娠经历后的感受）支持小组中出现的反复出现的主题。通过熟悉我们在支持小组中观察到的问题，遗传咨询师应该能够更好地理解并同情那些决定终止非常想要的妊娠的患者。他们可能也会觉得更有准备去参与组织和推动此类支持小组。
