Understanding Health Issues

As part of the adoption process, we have to complete a checklist of health issues we would accept for a referral. While the health of a child is somewhat known, not all of the possible health issues may be known and some health issues are only seen as a child gets older. We had to resubmit the checklist since we are being accepted to the program and decided it would be a good idea if we got a better understanding from a pediatrician about what the long term prognoses is for a baby born 32 weeks premature for example, or who has had a heart defect that was corrected. etc etc

We realized we would need the help of a pediatrician to really understand. If any of you are in the Eden Prairie area who have a great pediatrician - lets us know! We currently have plans to go to the closest one that seemed to get good reviews online, though prefer to go to someone that we know likes and has good experiences with.
