EP & Hearing

The Korean government only approves a certain amount of Emigration Permits per year. Once the Korean adoption agencies hit their quota of EP (Emigration Permits) for the year, then they have to wait until the first of the year to have more approved. Lennox did not receive her EP before our agency hit their quota. Which means, she will not receive her EP until atleast the beginning of the year. This will most likely prolong our travel call and prolong her coming home to us. We are saddened by this news but we also know that God's timing is perfect and He will bring her home when it is time.

Lennox had another hearing test in November. The results say she does not respond in both ears. Meaning she has profound hearing loss. We need her home as soon as possible so that we can begin the therapies and medical interventions that she needs to help her with her hearing and speech development. We pray that hearing aids or cochlear implants will assist her with her development. I pray God will allow her to be able to hear in this world and be able to communicate through speech.

Was it an ABR test or an OAE that she had no response on? Usually they only use no response on an ABR test. If so, profound kids with a sensorineural loss tend to do well with implants!

She's going to do great and thrive in your family. I know it!
