Today we went to the clinic for the mandatory check-up; just another formality in finalizing paperwork before returning to the US. They gave him a "once-over" and measured his head circumference (that was one of the qualifiers in his being labeled as "special needs-developmental delay"). Everything looked normal. They couldn't figure out why he was labeled as developmental delay. They escorted us into the actual office of the doctors where there were 3 doctors reviewing all of the paperwork we received on his initial referral. They were talking amongst themselves in Chinese and began to ask me questions in English: Where did you get this information? When did you receive this information? They were talking to our guide in Chinese and she was telling us that they couldn't figure it out. They looked us and said there was nothing wrong with him and signed off on the paperwork!!! This is what we suspected when we requested his referral. All along this is what we have been hoping and praying for! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

Special needs can mean so many things. Our son was labeled special needs as well but there was really no reason for it. Glad to see you are having a great time getting to know each other.
