She's done growing...

...is what we were told when we picked her up. She had gained only a few ounces over the last two years, putting her from a few ounces under 25 pounds at 9 years old to just a few ounces over 25 pounds when we picked her up two months after her 11th birthday.

"She's done growing."

Or not.

Six weeks after coming home she had gained five pounds, and before her surgery yesterday she weighed in at 35 pounds, 11 ounces.

Yes, I know that what you weigh doesn't give the whole picture, but it does reaffirm that you can't believe all the information you receive about a child in adoption (either the "good" or the "bad"). She's not done growing.
