Pre-Adoption Medical Services
A pre-adopt medical review helps to interpret the medical, social, and developmental information provided by your agency regarding a child you may want to pursue for adoption. This service is for both international and domestic adoption. Our physician will evaluate all of the information available on the child. If needed, our physician will access subspecialists for added resources when evaluating a child's file. These could consist of experts in genetics, neurology, cardiology, and others. Once the comprehensive review is completed, she will provide counsel on known diagnoses as well as recommendations for additional information needed.
A review of your child's file is typically completed within 3 business days of receiving the complete file. Once completed, you will have a phone consultation with the physician to discuss findings and answer any questions. We also have a 24 hour expedited review option for an additional fee, should you need a review quickly (1 business day turnaround time).
In addition to the review, our On-Call and Prescription Services are included in the fee for families traveling internationally. We will call in recommended prescriptions to your pharmacy for your child's use while in country. We will also provide you with our physician's "on-call" cell phone number that can be used while you are traveling abroad (messages left are typically returned within 24 hours).
