Hi Amy- You do basically choose which path to go down. But I think it's important to remember that any child may have some sn down the road. The nsn children in China seem to pretty healthy which is one of the many reasons we chose China. The mothers tend to take good care of themselves. Many of these children are living in orphanages. So they may have some delays, infections, and malnutrtion problems. All of these things should improve quickly once placed with a family. All the children are tested for HEP B, but I've been told it can show up later. If you choose the SN program, w/ my agency you submit a medical checklist and they match when a referal comes in that matches your request. Bottom line- in NSN program- you will be referd a child w/ no KNOWN medical conditions. Hope this helps some.
