We will be adopting a "special needs" girl from China. When a child is listed as "special needs," there is a wide range of problems that these babies have. Many are very minor, something they'll grow out of, or are medically correctable. Other children have complete syndromes, more severe needs, and permanent disabilities. As adoptive parents you are able to specify what level of special needs your family will accept.
With my PH, it's only smart that we limit the special needs we are willing to accept. It wouldn't be fair to our boys or to our new child to take on more than we can handle.
With all of that said, the following video is a great explanation of the types of special needs that these babies have. It's going to be a long 18 months waiting to get that baby home!
