Eval

I read through his extensive eval that was performed at 8 weeks. It reads like a horror story to any parent.
"Inability to soothe or be soothed. Avoids physical contact. Does not enjoy human interaction.  Cries uncontrollably. Does not try to interact. Unable to self regulate. Over sensitive. Never happy, wears a dour expression at all times. Sleep in 15 minute increments and no more than 8 hours a day total."

He qualifies for any and all services, from EI to medical to therapeutic.

Who in their right mind would volunteer for this job? I don't know, but it sounds like we might be the perfect parents for him. This is all old hat to us, all familiar. It reads like Mae's baby book (that never got filled in, too much screaming). Do I DESIRE another fussy baby? Not really. But who else is more prepared for this job? I've already researched it to the ends of the Earth. I think he's meant for us, and us for him. Let's see what the meeting is like. But both of us are already thinking: Yes.
