Question Congenital Hypothyroidism

Does anyone have any experience with congenital hypothyroidism special need? I'm under the impression that as long as it's being treated, there's not many side effects? Has anyone adopted a child w/ this special need? Thanks for your input.

An American pediatrician who examined our son thinks he may have some signs of this condition. We can't get testing done in country, so we'll have to wait until he gets home. Our pedi at home gives the impression that the treatment is simple and really is not much to worry about.

I hope that helps.

Talking thanks

Thanks for the help. Actually, since I've posted we've accepted a referral for a little boy with post-op TEV. So, I'll be reading up on a different special need. Thanks anyway, though. I hope your adoption goes smoothly and quickly.
