If you are a foster or adoptive parent, you have probably been both amused and frustrated at things some healthcare providers say and ask you during your child’s appointments. For me, dealing with medical professionals has been quite the learning curve.

Spot on. I was adopted as an infant, to this day at dr appointments I scribble “no family history: adopted” on the forms and I’m still asked the questions, over and over, it’s fascinating. “So you don’t have any history?” Ugh. 😂

Wow I didn’t even know this is a thing. It seems so cold and uncaring and lacking bedside manner.

It does feel that way but I wonder if they even realize it. They’re just focused on the mission of solving whatever is going on. However, some sensitivity and training would help!!
