The following is a list of basic services offered via our website and affiliated
doctors.
We are a educational support service for families who have
adopted or are in the process of adopting Internationally. We are the GO TO
place for medical information about adoption medicine.
We review the child's medical records and videos tapes
in order to better evaluate
his/her general health and past medical history, prior to adoption. Our main
role is to educate our families to the complex issues found on many of the
medical reports. We discuss health care related issues pertaining to particular
countries. We inform parents about specific problems found in
children from orphanages in that country. Our Physicians prepare comprehensive
reports, written in layman's terminology, making them easy for parents to understand.
We also via a telephone consultation review the entire report with the family.
We allow time to answer specific questions that the parents may have.
We also give advice on how parents can help transition the child
from the orphanage to a family life.
This information is beneficial in helping the family and child, until they are
able to visit their doctor for the post-Adoption examination and medical
screening.
It must be clearly
understood that it is not the physicians role to tell parents to adopt
or not adopt a particular child. That decisions is completely up to the
parents.
We help to educate families and empower them with knowledge
necessary to make this decision a little bit easier.
Pre-adoption
Travel preparation consultations
During the verbal consultation with the parents, the doctors are
available to answer any questions pertaining to medical and practical issue
pertaining to the particular country.
We go over what the parent needs to
bring along in a travel bag as well as what to do if the child gets ill while
traveling.
For those families gong on a blind referral, we help families with Internet
technology and how to get data back to the United States for evaluations by and
Adoption Specialist.
We guide parents on how to
prepare their own video recording, and on how to collect medical information
that may be helpful in the evaluation process.
