I don't trust my agency resources anymore, so we are definitely getting a "second opinion" with no alterior motivations! We are using a local pediatrician who has inadvertantly become the town 'expert' on international adoptees. We were referred to him by another local family who is in the process of their second adoption of two kids from Russia. I made an appt. before our trip was cancelled, talked with him, and decided it was a good fit for us. Not necessarily convenient, but what about this process has been! If he's a good doc, he's worth driving across town to see.
Oh, bonus: he ISNT CHARGING US FOR THE SERVICE!!!!!!! Praise God for all the small miracles that will get us through this!
