We use an IA doc up at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He is one of the country's foremost authorities in IA. We have had 3 children reviewed by them and I am sending up #4 tomorrow. They are AWESOME and I wouldn't do Russian adoption without and IA doc.
I don't know if you have followed my story but we had a referral that we were so in love with and ready to accept. I didn't want to spend the money to have her evaluated and said "I am sure she is fine. If I can't see something wrong with her, what's the doc going to see?" DH talked me into sending the video & meds. The doc called me and told me that Irina WOULD be mentally retarded and had severe FAS. He was 100% certain of it - there was no shadow of doubt. I was devastated, BUT with time, I am so grateful we did it.
Our cost is $125 per child for review. Some are as expensive as $500. There are well known IA docs. If you need some suggestions, feel free to PM me. Your agency should also have a list of them.
GL!
