[Nfbmo] Help us get back the Baby

[Gary Wunder]

Hi Dewey. Everything we have been able to find which has been put in writing 
suggests that blindness is the only issue. The blind parents were told right 
up front that if they had someone cited who could be with them 24x7, the 
baby could go home with them. We are not so committed to blind rights that 
we would disregard the needs of a vulnerable child, so we have made some 
effort to ask the questions which you so thoughtfully propose here.

Warmly,

Gary
