It's Sienna Grace. She had a bad reaction to the 7 shots she had to get in one day. I believe they were taking her to back to American doctors and may have ended up in the hospital. She has thalassemia (SP??) and they think the high fevers may have been too much for her. I'm so upset for this family. This is the last thing they should have to deal with over there.

please ask all your friends to help out
I hope you can take a minute and kindly ask everyone you know who cares about the little people around the World, the kids coming from China now who must get TOO many shots all at once risking their health and possibly their lives to have a family after all they have endured already. A family is brave enough to adopt a SN child only to have harm done by giving all those shots at once by AMERICAN rule when there used to be a waiver that a parent signed stating they would just catch up the shots like the American children standards via their American Pediatrician. How unfair to treat them this way, the child and the family! Its like Russian Roulette with their health adding one more injury to a child who already is SN just by the fact of adoption. No one knows how safe, and even a lot of American parents cringe at shots PERIOD!
thank you so much for helping to gather more signatures showing your support to change this back to the way it should be!
Re: Family in China now-mentions prayer
They went to the clinic. Her fevers are down. I think they are going to try to get home sooner.
