Sweet Susie just turned 8, and is still waiting for her forever family. Originally listed as having repaired ptosis, she was matched with a family in late 2005. In January 2006, after spending 2 days with the adoptive family, she was sent back to the orphanage due to concerns that Susie may have neurofibromatosis. She has multiple cafe au lait spots all over her body.
In July of 2009 a diagnosis of "neurofibroma?" was placed in her file. And yes, the question mark was included in the diagnosis. A developmental test was also done, and even though the tester reported "The patient was not cooperative in test", she was diagnosed as having "slight retarded development".
Susie is described as polite and helpful. She loves to sing and listen to music. Susie struggles in school, and it takes her a while to learn new things, especially math. She attends a regular school, with children her own age.
She is the closest to her foster mother, who she has lived with since 2008.

Once you've read up on it, ask yourself if Susie could be YOUR daughter!
