D1: Adoption Agency
Remote Name: 24.99.245.97
Date: May 10, 2008
Adoption_Situation:
Miranda, a lovely, engaging African American girl born February 19th, needs a family who can nurture and support her through any challenges she may face in the future.
At her most recent medical examination on May 5th, she was very responsive and was developmentally on target. She weighed 13 pounds and was 24 inches long. Her interim care mom reported that Miranda is a sweet natured baby who loves to cuddle.
Miranda has more than 6 café-au-lait spots on her body. Because of this, Neurofibromatosis cannot be ruled out. A definitive diagnosis may not be reached for several years. We request that potential families research this disorder before contacting Spence-Chapin.
Although her neurological examination on May 5th was normal, Miranda does have a history of tremors and hypertonicity in her previous exams. Tremoring and hypertonicity are signs of heightened neuromuscular irritability and indicate that something was atypical in her nervous system. Although she no longer tremors nor is she hypertonic, she is still at risk for the learning, behavioral and/or attention issues that are associated with early atypical neurological findings.
Whatever challenges she may face, Miranda is a delightful baby who will unquestionably thrive in a loving and medically experienced family.
Homestudy ready families who are interested in adopting Miranda are asked to complete our ASAP Pre-application form (http://www.spence-chapin.org/asapreapp.html). Home Studies can be faxed to 212-360-0282, attention ASAP.
