Good News

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!
