That Special Baby

Tweet

Some of you might remember a post I wrote recently about my sister and brother-in-law taking in another foster child with intent to adopt. Amyra, their first and only, was adopted and she's five now. Dominic, the little boy, is around ten months now, about the same age Amyra's was when they first fostered her. While Amyra was premature, Dominic's biological mother was an alcoholic. Both she and the biological father have already signed away their parental rights. As of now Dominic has a tracheal tube in his throat so of course he won't be able to talk until that's taken out. Apparently, they haven't told my sister what led to him needing the tracheal tube, but they have been notoriously hush hush on the health of the child until you're about to take the baby home. Not helpful at all. My sister got to take him to get glasses, and she learned how to change his tracheal tube. They'll get more concrete info on when they can take him home for good pretty soon.
