We had an adoption doctor look over all her records and blood tests before we accepted the referral, and the doctor noted the high weight and told us she doubts that Cupcake weighs that much. I freaked out until the doctor told us it's a very common thing for the measurements, etc. to get mixed up during the medical exams in the orphanages. We called the agency anyway, and they said their main concern is getting teh right photo with the right birth certificate and blood tests- the rest is secondary. One other baby examined on the same day had identical measurements, so it looks like there's where the mixup happened.
So I'm trying not to freak out about the possibly wrong weight and height. I mean, Cupcake could be 4 feet tall and 200 pounds and I would be fine with it. As long as Cupcake is the little face in the photo, that's all that matters.
Regardless, I better get a REALLY sturdy sling/carrier.
