Announcing "Ask Dr. Gordina"

Adoption Friends:

Do you have questions on the medical aspects of international adoption? ThinkingOfAdopting.com is excited to announce that Dr. Alla Gordina, board-certified pediatrician, Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a member of its Section on Adoption and Foster Care, has been kind enough to agree to answer your general questions on the medical aspects of international adoption on the "Ask Alla Gordina, MD FAAP" section of the ThinkingOfAdopting.com Forum.

As some of you may have already had the chance to learn from Dr. Gordina through her ThinkingOfAdopting.com adoption telecourse, "Medical Aspects of International Adoption" (presented in December 2005 or February 2006), you know that this is a great opportunity.

So no matter if you're just thinking of adopting or you are already an adoptive parent, post your questions (don't be shy!) or learn from her answers to others. I know I certainly do! She's already answered questions on issues including delays, parasites, and feeding toddlers.

I sincerely thank Dr. Gordina -- a truly wonderful individual -- for all she is doing to help us on our adoption journeys.
