People parent, and parent very well, with all kinds of disabilities. Can I ask what your reasons might be for asking?

Welcome to the community, it may mean that you need a little extra support but lots of parents need extra support whether they are disabled or non-disabled!
Do you have physical or mental impairments? Sometimes disabled parents have the involvement of social services, that might sounds scary but it is just about ensuring that you as a family get all the support you need.
Lots of parents have physical impairments and sometimes they need to figure out different ways of doing things, but it doesnt stop them parenting.
We have lots of guest posts by disabled parents you might like to look at.
