[tri-wings] NANCY

Nancy
 
Thats fascinating, I don't think I knew what your other children were diagnosed 
with, aside from Analee.  Thanks so much for your words.  From what I've read, 
this little lad looks like a perfect addition to our family.  He's very 
sociable and warm hearted, which sounds perfect to me.  I think this country is 
so geared against children with additional needs that many people still hold a 
deep-seated fear to even talk about it.  Your words have just affirmed the way 
I feel about things.  
 
I'll get in touch off-list to discuss more.  THANKYOU.  You've been a wee word 
of sense in a sea of bad advice!
