Has anyone started planning for their child's future, yet. If so, what have you done. I've heard about trust funds. Has anyone looked into group homes? Who will look after your child when you are no longer here?

Oh Good for you for bringing up this point.
I work with a State MH Hospital, we get many people who end up with some petty court charge due to some unrecognized mental problem or behavior outburst by someone w/special needs. But before we do they have been involved (usually more than once) with the police or courts or jails or suicide sections of local hospitals. PLEASE plan, plan and plan some more. Once the siblings get grown and start families of their own or once you are gone, many children are left with nothing more than a SSI check and an attorney who takes a fee for paying bills.
Set up a will, with trusts (to keep bill collectors from ending up with your house) and with pre-paid burial trusts for these children.
