These are some cute pictures of me
As you can see from my very first baby pictures, I have a Heomageoma on my nose (this is a cluster of blood vessels) and my eyes are sort of close together.  This is because my birthmother drank while she was pregnant with me.  I have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), I will teach you more about this invisable disabilility later on.  Now lets continue with all of my wonderful pictures and accomplishments.
This is a picture of me and my mom when I first came to live with my "forever family" :-)
This is me, mom and my brother Eli when we were first adopted.  Our biological mother also drank when she was pregnant with him, she binge drank with Eli so he has Fetal Alcohol Effect (FAE)
This is me, my sister, my brothers and my dad.  This is when they came to visit and meet us before they adopted us.  We are all a lot older now of course.  My sister Robyn has 2 kids of her own now, my brother Kelly is about 6'5" and my dad is a little heavier and has less hair (he he he, sorry dad).  Eli and I are now 17 and 18. 
Where does the time go?

Happy 7th birthday to me!  :-)
These are my before and after pictures from my plastic surgery.  The after photo is when I first had the bandages removed, you will see my healed nose in latter photos.  I will have some reconstructive surgery later when they are sure that I have stopped growing.
