About Adoptiondoctors.com
The Mission of Adoptiondoctors.com
Our doctors
provide International Adoption Medicine for the Private
practice sector, available to anyone with a computer and telephone. We are not an
adoption agency and we do not place children.
It is because of this, that we are able to provide unbiased medical evaluations.
Our
Pre-Adoption medical record service was designed to be an educational and
support program for adoptive parents. Our goal is to educate adoptive parents using the
limited medical
information available about their child. It is this knowledge that empowers
adoptive parents them to make an educated decision, and not just take a leap of
faith. We never tell families which child to adopt and we do not pick out
children.
Who are the Adoptiondoctors.com
George Rogu M.D. and James Reilly M.D., are both board certified
in general Pediatric Medicine and have offices, located on Long Island New York,
Exit 52 on the Long
Island Expressway.
Over the years in Private practice, they both have taken care of many foster
children and of children who were domestically and internationally adopted.
Being that Dr. Rogu has a Romanian ethnic background, he has taken a particular
interest in children adopted from the Eastern European
countries (Romania, Russia, Moldova, and the Ukraine) While taking care of these
children in his private practice, he noted that there is some
medical pathology that is unique to children living in orphanages and that
if a physician is not aware of these circumstances, it may be easily missed.
Dr. Rogu had lived in Bucharest
Romania for 6 years and has seen first hand the dismal orphanages in Romania in
the late 1980's.While it was once thought that "a good
breakfast and lots of love" will cure the ills created by from
institutional living conditions,
it is now very clear that is not completely true. Many medical problems can
arise in these children, and parents need to have a unbiased resource to
help them make the right decision.
A hasty, uniformed decision to adopt a
particular child at the recommendation of an adoption agency may be a mistake
that they family will carry for these rest of their lives.
On this website, we have also networked with a number of
other Pediatric physicians as well as different resources whom also take a particular interest in
International adoption.

The
physicians of Adoptiondoctors.com are all board certified Pediatricians. What
makes us unique is the fact that they also have a cultural background similar to
that of your child's. Our physicians have an understanding of the respective
countries language, social culture, and medical terminology.
It is important to realize that while children worldwide are usually medically
similar, children living in Chinese orphanages have different set of potential problems
from those of Russia, Romania and South America.
All medical interactions are performed via
e-mail, express mail, telephone, and fax. There is no need to make appointments
and travel outside or your hometown.
The great part of our service is that our doctors virtually come to you.
