[blindkid] New Family

[Holly Miller]

Welcome Heather!
Another adoptive family here. Hank came home from China a month before  
his 6th birthday which was almost exactly 5 years ago!

Language almost always come quickly and getting involved with the NFB  
will be a big help in getting on track with the blindness skills

Congratulations!
Holly
