Physical Exam and More Touring

Last week (August 22nd), our adoption agency (CCAI) provided a doctor to examine each baby in order to identify any health issues that might need either immediate or long term attention. The doctor identified that Caroline has a cleft palette (hole in the roof of the mouth). As part of the USA paperwork, an official physical exam is required of each baby, and Caroline’s appointment was at 3:30pm this afternoon. The doctors indicated that she does have a “level 2” (out of 3) cleft palette which will require surgery to repair, but afterwards Caroline should be just fine. CCAI has been on top of this unexpected “special needs” condition and already has a health addendum ready so we won’t be delayed coming home.
