US News & World Report: Health

 Nearly every adoption has health issues simply based on the fact that there is limited knowledge of the child's medical history. Even things as basic as determining which vaccines were administered prior to the adoption can cause a battery of tests. General health can bring a pediatrician, hearing and vision tests may require a visit to an Ophthalmologists and Audiologist--just to check the basic health of the baby.

US News & World Report creates an annual listing of the Best Health Plans and Best Hospitals along with tools to help find a hospital or therapist. You can also find many articles on children's health and adoption.

Knowledge is one of the biggest tools in the adoption process and at home as parents. US News is one resource that may help you as your child's healthcare advocate.
