Hi Diana,
Congratulations on your baby girl!  She has a beautiful name!
Unfortunately, I still deal with attitudes like that even after having 3 
children.  I have never dealt with CPS, and I've proven myself many, many 
times with doctors and nurses who assumed I couldn't care for my child on my 
own.  I think as blind parents we will always have to prove our capabilities 
for people.  But just keep standing up for yourself and let them know you're 
in control.  Sounds like you're doing great already.
