The newest 'A' Knight!
|
We would like you to meet our newest daughter, Anaka! She is 2-years-old, and her special needs are microtia and cleft palate. Microtia is when the outer ear does not form completely, often including an absence of the ear canal and ear drum. In Anaka’s case, her left ear canal is absent and her outer ear is present but not complete. Her right ear appears to only be mildly affected. There is some amount of hearing loss, although we won’t know exactly how much without further testing. She also has a very small cleft palate (which may or may not require reparative surgery).
We fly out to get her on October 30th! Gotcha Day should be Monday, November 2nd (Sunday, November 1st for all our friends and family in the States). |
