Hey all,
I was after some advice please but a bit of backgroung will probably help!
DH and I adoped our twin daughters when they were 11 months old and they have just turned six, they were born at 25 weeks and had various problems associated with prematurity, one had NEC, both were in hospital for about 12 weeks until discharged into foster care.
The girls have been placed with us approximately 300 miles away from where they were born and we have no acess to their medical records, Following placement they have never had any follow up with a paediatrician or doctor of any kind we have just been left to get on with it.
Now five years down the line the girls are in year one of main stream school and doing well but we are starting to notice that they are struggling with certain things, DT1 just slower to learn but DT2 very unco-ordinated and clumsy and also slower to grasp phonics etc, i was wondering if this might be due to their prematurity? I also wanted to ask what kind of follow up your babies have had?
thankyou for any advice you can give
