[blindkid] New Family

[Heather Breems]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this list and just wanted to briefly introduce myself and my
family.  My husband and I are in the final stages of adopting a 2 and half
year old from Haiti who is assumed to have been blind since birth.  As you
can imagine the medical information from Haiti is scarce, but we have
visited with him many times over the course of this year long adoption
process and are so happy we will finally have him home soon.  I have tried
to do as much research and reading as possible to prepare ourselves first
for helping him with the transition.  I am very encouraged to have found
this group along with all the other resources that I know will help our
family and our son.

Sincerely,
