cindy, thanks for your comments. I was very down today. I don't even know if my baby has cranio or not, I sure hope she doesn't because she will be 18 mo old when I get her, and I don't know what they could do at that point. Her head was 30cm (11.8") when she was found (5.7 lbs so I don't know if she was a premie or not) any way the doctors have told me that 32 cm is the lowest acceptable measure and that there is a risk of brain damage or mental retardation. I am in love with this little girl and can't leave her there. I don't know how much I can handle as a single mom, I am so worried about time off if she needs surgery. My heart says that everything will be fine, but my mind is having fits. I read your blog and am amazed with what all you have made it through. Thank you so much for sharing. Christi
I am a 36 yr old who was placed up for adoption at birth. 3 months later, my birth mother came back for me and raised me as her own until I was 24 months old. I was adopted into a fantastic family, and wouldnt change a thing. Now the horror stories of my first 24 months have come back to haunt me.
