All adoptive parents can remember the overwhelming questions that flood your mind when you begin to learn and attempt to understand what exposures a baby in utero can experience and how it can impact the short and long-term growth of that child. There are so many fears and anxieties that can take over. Thankfully, there are people out there like Lori Wolfe, who are certified genetic counselors and teratogen information specialists.
