Exclamation Update

Well, I got off the phone with his supervisor (I was told she was the SW by my SW, turns out she's not) this morning and am totally disgusted with the her attitude. She claims the medical info she sent- his discharge sheet from the hospital when he was 4 mos. old - was the most current stuff they have in his file.
You've got to be kidding!!!
Then I told her (again) that I wanted to see the reports specifically related to his vision problems. And the name/# of the eye specialist he sees. She tells me there are no such reports (so he's not seeing an eye specialist?) and she can't possibly release the dr's name/# due to privacy issues.
I explain that I'd spoken to the various specialists for BOTH of my sons - and that the dr. should understand since I'll be his new parent!!! But she repeated that she just doesn't think that's possible. I reiterated that the vision issues are a dealbreaker for me, that I could not adopt a child that will become fully blind. I again asked her to ask his worker (who she's just now identified) to get the information. She said she'd try, but who knows how long that would take and was I prepared to wait even longer since I was so previously excited to come pick him up as soon as possible?
What choice do I have?
Any ideas? Or am I just stuck waiting for medical info that I hope to God will actually come?
I just don't know.
I try to convince myself, time will tell..........but that doesn't seem to be very convincing at all.
I just don't know.
