We've been looking into internation adoption and I'm concerned about the medical exam/dr's letter. What exactly does that entail? The thing that worries me is that a few months ago my Dr convined me to go on Lexapro for mild anxiety. She really pushed for me to just try it, no big deal, etc so I did but I didn't like the side effects so I only took it for a couple months. She also put in my chart "Generalized Anxiety Disorder". Great. I feel like that just screwed me when it comes to IA.

So, is it just a generic letter that the doctor has to write "so and so has a normal life expectancy, etc." or do they have to list everything you have been diagnosed with?

Does it matter what type of doctor does the exam? I was thinking, maybe I could get my OB/GYN to do the letter? He is the one who manages my blood pressure so I have seen him a few times in the last two years. He has nothing in his record of anxiety.

Thanks for any help.
