You are not alone!
Read the stories of children born with amniotic band syndrome (ABS) and other upper limb differences, and the heroes who have overcome their challenges to lead happy, successful lives!
 Hi, I'm Steve Geigle, the developer of this website. My granddaughter, Haley, was born in 1995 without a fully formed left hand. Now, at 16 years of age, Haley has been an inspiration to our family, and many others. You can read about Haley and many other SuperHands Kids and Heroes who were born to bless.
One of my goals has been to introduce Haley to other children and adults with the same condition so that she would know that she was not "the only one." So, we hunted and hunted. Twelve years of searching have brought many "angels" our way, and our family's personal thanks go out to Nicole, Lee, Amy, and to Christy at the Shriners Hospital in Portland. My heart-felt thanks! also goes out to all those parents and others who have phoned and emailed their support and expressions of appreciation. You folks are the greatest!
I know there are many youth and adults with superhands around this big planet, and I hope they all find us. Superhands is a virtual gathering place where everyone is welcome to learn about and network with adults and youth who have various hand or upper limb differences. If you're a parent, this is a great place to get in touch with other parents and Superhands Heroes. If you're a little one, you can meet others just like you. And, please, if you want to be a SuperHands Kid or Hero yourself, send me an email. Hey, if you need cheerin' up, just click here!
