An important resource to secure when going through an International Adoption is a specialized pediatrician. Dave and I recently hired an amazing pediatrician and adoption specialist to work with us during the adoption process, Dr. Melissa Goldstein who is a pediatrician with Carnegie Hill Pediatrics in NYC. It was important for us to find a medical professional to help us review medical records, Russian medical terminology, photos, etc. as we prepare for the journey to bring our son home. Both Dave and I connected with Dr. Goldstein immediately and feel confident that she will help us make the best educated decisions for our family.More information about Dr. Goldstein....
