Title: Thanks for this site!
Post by: bellamae on December 03, 2008, 11:48:40 PM

Thought I'd quickly introduce myself. 

My DS is 2.5 years old and diagnosed beta minor.  He is adopted, and we know very little of his genetic history.  DH and I are not carriers, so we have no experience with this, and I'm so grateful to have this board to turn to with my questions and concerns.  Before DS's diagnosis (which they originally suspected was sickle cell, prior to any blood tests, since he's African-American), we had never heard of thalassemia at all. 

I look forward to learning more through being here, and hopefully one day I'll be one of the people offering support, advice, and encouragement.  :biggrin

Thanks!
