Blind Referral Evaluation

I have a Blind referral but I would feel more comfortable if a medical professional reviews my child’s data and video while I am traveling overseas. How can I prepare the medical package and how do I get the data back home in a timely fashion?

What will my child need if his/her pre-adoptive medical report has a diagnosis of "rickets"?

As many other diagnoses found in medical documents of children adopted from the former Soviet Union, rickets is both extremey common and extremely over-diagnosed.

Readers question about Rickets in orphan children
12/18/2005
I am considering this sibling group from Russia (Vladimir), two girls 5 and 8 years old. On the medical report of the younger child, it states that she has had Rickets but her health is now good. It does not state what caused rickets. My concern is that she will have future medical problems from this. What do I need to know and what should I expect?
