Evidence that the parents are adjusting to the newborn with the genetic abnormality is the mother holding the baby during the visit. The father walking by the bassinet or leaving during the visit does not indicate adjustment. The mother sitting on the sofa while the baby cries does not indicate that the mother is adjusting to the newborn's health problems.
