It will be open to adoptive parents, parents waiting to adopt, adoptive agencies, other related agencies and professions. This group has been set up to discuss the melamine issue in China. We are here to share information and learn from each other so our children can get the right testing and right treatment.

Please see the file section for lots of information.

Please fill in the information in the database section so we can see how far back this issue goes.

I want to add that I am an adoptive mom as well and have no medical knowledge, just what I read like the rest of you, and what I find out from my doctor. So the more we share (and where the information came from) will be helpful for all.

Please note that if you contact me off group I will do my best to respond within 24 hours. If you don't hear from me, please try again or contact another moderator. On rare occassions I am away from the computer for a few days at a time. Feel free to send the link to other yahoo groups so others can join. The more that join the more we will learn.
