Blind Couple Get Baby Back

This falls under good news, bad news.

Good news! Mikaela Sinnett, two months old, was just returned home to her parents, Blake Sinnett and Erika Johnson of Independence, Missouri.

The bad news? The only reason young Mikaela was taken from the couple almost immediately after she was born is because both her mother and father are blind.

The NFB of Missouri helped the couple hire an attorney to get their baby back. See NFB's Press Release: National Federation of the Blind Successful in Returning Infant to Her Parents.
