I don't know if I would want the doctor tagging along... seems odd... then again...
I read the article and it seems if you are going to have the Dr. tag along you had better be ready for what he is going to possiby say. It seems like the parents in the article already had their minds made up that they were going to keep the child regardless of what the Dr. said. So why have the Dr. come along? Like the woman said in the article, when you have a biological child you just deal with any problems that might arise. I agree with her. ckkzxi
I figure if that's my child ..... I'm good ..... I'm not expecting perfection ..... after all ..... there's .... me!
That is my agency.
When I traveled in 02 a pedi accompanied us.
Not only are they there for the "bad" things but are available for ear infections,upper resp infections, G.I issues, questions you may have about your new child and most importantly..Support.
alrighty then...that's all I can say!!
