many premature babies will end up being small (head/length/weigth), it all depends what how premmy was the baby, what was the cause of prematurity and what were the complications (before, at and after birht). Pay particular attention to certain things:
- head circumference - small head can signify developmental delay in the future - fetal alcohol syndrome - this is the most dangerous one - it would be really good if some doctor can give you a piece of advice on this - sometimes is very difficult assess especially at young age, - how does the baby interact with others? strangers anxiety/shyness, etc is OK, but observe how does he interact with his current caregivers and the other children around - what can/can not do at his age - deveopmental milestones. Also, keep in mind, most of the children in the orphenage will be somehow delayed due to lack of interaction, regression, etc, they are usually small, but also most of them with proper care and love can pick up really quickly. -most impotant thing:listen to your heart. Go and see the baby and see what your heart tells you. This is why you are there. Give baby and yourself the chance to love and be loved. I wish you best of luck, I hope I will be there soon

catabaia,
Cathy has posted since the first post that she declined that referral (before meeting her) b/c after research she decided the child was too high risk. Now we are hoping to hear from her soon on what happened at the MOE when she declined. We are all hoping and praying that she is given a referral that is a perfect fit for her family! (and looking forward to seeing your journey too..I hope it is very smooth!) Cathy, we are waiting on pins and needles..I know you are very busy...i am hoping no news is good news!!!!! Prayers continuing for you....
