What's New on WonderBaby?
Help for Parents!
Sometimes we all just need a little help, but this is especially true for parents of blind or disabled children. We're always looking for support and resources!
On the other hand, it is so easy to feel completely overwhelmed by all the support and resources thrown your way!
With that in mind, I put together a quick guide to Raising a Blind Baby, with good places to start looking for answers and help.
Beyond support, I also think it's important to hear about what other parents are doing. Other families are a great source for inspiration!
This month you'll definitely want to read Tacey's Story, about a little girl with Retinoblastoma who became the first ever Miss Tough Enough To Wear Pink Four States Rodeo Queen!

Behind the Scenes
October was a big month of changes for WonderBaby. We updated the look and tried to make the site more accessible. We also reorganized our database so hopefully everything will be easier to find.
Another important change that you might not notice at first is that each article is now printer friendly! Feel free to print any of the articles on WonderBaby and share them with friends and family.
Please Let Us Know what you think of the new site design!
