I am again seeing children with repaired special needs being referred to parents who are in the non-special-needs program. This cropped up last year and then seemed to fade away, but now it seems to be making a comeback.
So far these include things like heart surgeries, and extra digits (toes, fingers) that have been removed.
It can also include a repaired cleft, which to me is a bit scary for a family expecting NSN since children can require multiple surgeries for this until their faces stop growing and changing. Also, children who have cleft issues can have problems with other organs in their bodies. The same “issue” in utero that causes the cleft can also make some of the internal organs not develop properly and some parents who adopt a waiting child with a cleft do not know their child has these other problems until they are home with them.
A few agencies are now starting to warn clients of the possibility of being referred a child with a repaired special need so I’m assuming they have heard something from the CCAA that tells them this is will be the new policy.

You know... I think that 'regardless' I would take them... I mean... it may not be what I 'asked' for but then again... I still would not want to refuse a child... to me it would be like destiny that this child was meant to be with us... at least this is my opinion... On another note... glad you had a great time at Universal...
I saw that to, not sure what to think anymore. I don't think I would I would mind but it just is not what I was expecting. Like anything in life I guess I would just deal with whatever situation that was meant to be for us.
