International Adoption Doctor for a child home over a year...

Hey there. Eli has been home since March 5th, but my concern today is Rosemary. She has had difficulties with sleep (including terrible night terrors) since before I brought her home over a year ago. So - Eli sleeps all night at 8 months, but Rose just can't do it at 20 months. She struggles with going to sleep, naptime, etc and wakes up very often.

My pediatrician is very respected and has some internationally adopted children in his practice, but he just doesn't get it. Neither of my children have had blood tests, stool tests, etc since they've been home. I've repeatedly asked if we should do a routine cbc or even a tb skin test. Finally they did a tb test on Rosemary at her last well baby visit (and it was negative.)

I just know in my gut that something more is going on with Rosemary (besides her little brother coming home) and I feel like it's psychological. They both had the same fmom, but Rosemary still has some strange behavior with her food (hoarding, etc.) I just think she had a tough time.

So - finally....... does anyone know of a good international specialist who may do a phone consult to let me know what I need my ped (or new ped) to test for?

I'm a single mommy to two under 20 months and I'm barely making it here. Rosemary not sleeping is killing me.
Help!!???
