Lost in Translation

So here's the scoop.  Our dossier is STILL being translated.  Yep, apparently a month is just not long enough.  So there will be some more waiting.  BUT....our agency decided to give us a bit of new information to keep us happy while we wait....and it worked.  We are rather easy to please at this point....any info will do.
They sent us Olivia's medical/psychological evaluation.  I know this doesn't sound like an exciting read but it was...it really, really was. 

We now know that although she was born premature she is on target for her size.  She is only 2 inches shorter than Orrin. 
 
She is walking, climbing and playing like a normal toddler. 
 
She knows her name and responds (this may pose a problem considering her real name is not Olivia). 
 
She does have a few health issues we will need to deal with when she comes home. Nothing too severe, though.
 
We now know which city she is located in and the picture on the left of my header is an actual photo of the town she lives in. 
 
 
There was this one line near the bottom of her evaluation that caught my eye.
 



"In the present situation _______ most of all lacks constant, individual contact with close to her caregivers. The girl would feel best in a home that can provide her with love, care and natural stimulation, which consists of various experiences and developmental stimuli. These factors can significantly impact ________ independent functioning as an adult."
 
Oh, yeah! That's us!  Now if they would find a little bit of urgency...I wouldn't mind.
