Lots going on here, and I promise to update as soon as I can. But we have some good news to report!
Hanna DOES NOT have Turner's Syndrome!!!!
Both our doctor at the International Adoption Clinic and our occupational therapist thought it was a possibility given some of her physical characteristics.
Briefly, Turners is a genetic disorder that only affects girls. They are missing a chromosome or have an abnormal chromosome that affects their height in particular but also some other physical characteristics. For more information check out these websites:

Today I received confirmed results of Hanna's genetic test that reveal that she is genetically "normal".
So my little girl is just little!

Slava Bogu! Even knowing you would love your child no matter what, it is still a relief to know their future is that much brighter for a lack of a chronic diagnosis!
