Welcome and Congratulations Heather on the adoption of your son.
We adopted a seven old blind girl from Mexico also blind since birth and she
didn't speak at all, and even though she only heard Spanish for seven years she
quickly learned English. Hopefully the transition for your son will be a smooth
one. As someone mentioned The Parents of blind
children organization is great with many knowledgable people. Just want you to
know we are here for you.
Lety

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,
--
Heather Breems
