See what your IA doc thinks..but here is my opinion.

I did not have these on my daughter's medical, but Hep C is common. But with one of our referrals (the one we lost in-counntry) the IA doc suggested not to accept UNLESS we had a new test that was Neg. They test positive because ** had it, but usually turn neg. by one year.
The hearing issues...well, it seems if they write that there is probably at least some problem. But a hearing impaired child is not the end of the world...especially if it is mild.
Hannah had inborn heart disease on her med. and her heart is perfect.
As far as the drug abuse, now that is pretty scary. But with Hannah we had no history, so who knows what her ** did. There are soo many problems that can come with a kid that had a ** that was a drug abuser, that is for sure. How is his measurements?
I am not saying to refuse him, but I would be cautious until you get more info and IA doc eval. I am not trying to be negative, I am just a cautious person, after going through 4 referrals!
We accepted Hannah with a list of med. diagnoses, but since we accepted her in-country, that helped to have "what we saw" along with the med. history.

I know this is nerve-wracking...I hope you get more info and eval soon, and that they give you the thumbs up on this fella!!!
