Does Growth Stop with Onset of Menstruation?

A girl's growth slows down once she starts her periods, but it doesn't stop completely.

Growth rate after early mensuration
My daughter had her menses at 10.5 yrs,she is 62 inches at 11 yrs 8 months and on the 75 Percentile line on growth charts for Girls her age .Ideally she should land up at 67 inches but i have read that post mensuration you grow 1 to 2 inches ..this should bring her off her growth trajectory of 67 to 64
What's your view is early menses going to stop her from growing to her full adult potential ?

My daughter is adopted, so how should i base her height with her parent's height.
