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
