Emily was found near the back door of her orphanage in March of 2013 and taken to the local hospital for examination. At the time of her adoption report she was 6 months old. They described her as having big eyes and a ready smile, very adorable, good temper, does not like to scream and a little timid but not afraid of strangers. They say she likes to be played with.
Emily’s cleft lip was repaired in August 2013. She returned to the hospital in December 2013 to be treated for serious pneumonia and during that time she tested positive for Hep B. It appears several blood tests were done and she was listed as being HBV carrier with normal liver function. During her month and a half stay in the hospital mild congenital heart disease (PFO) was also discovered, however, it was believed she would self-heal and no surgery would be needed.
Emily was less than a month old when she entered the orphanage and a nurture plan was put in place to help her gain strength and provide nutrition and care. At the time of her report her growth and development were within the normal range.
