My daughter was on the waiting child photolisting for r/o cerebral palsy and ASD(atrial septal defect) that was repaired when she was 6 months old in Korea. She also had a subedemyl cyst. Toward the end of our wait we also got a diagnosis of 'thinning corpus collosum'. I also went to committee for her with 5 other families. I would be willing to talk about any of these things.

I'm willing to talk about our issues. Our daughter was premature and completely shut off upon bringing her home. We went through months without much smiling and she didn't laugh for a long time. It was emotionally very challenging but she's been home over 4 years now so I'd love to help someone else.
