Re: advice on adoption a child with club feet

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I have a son with a right clubfoot, and I always say when we have

more children, I would not be bothered if they all had clubfeet. We

had no clue what Talipes was until he was born, and never knew

anyone who had it. Things can be so much worse, and our son may

have spurts with lots of appointments, but is is just spurts. His

father and I both work full time and still find a way to get him

everything he needs. He did relapse at age 2, and at that time we

switched to the Ponsieti method and he had 2 more casts put on, and

he is doing good again. My son is a " normal " 2 year old, he does

everything just as other 2 year olds would, except he wears special

shoes to bed (DBB). What area are you from? If you mention it I'm

sure someone could tell you a good doctor to call for advice. Since

we prefer a Ponsieti Method doctor, we have to drive about 2 hrs to

see Dr. Herzenberg in Baltimore, MD. because we do not have one in

our area, but it is well worth it! Who knows maybe you will have a

great doctor in your area. Good luck.

Hi and thanks!

I am in the Poughkeepsie NY area and I am hoping there may be a

doctor local. If not, I have read about the clinic in NY and it

sounds as if there are great doctors there. I do not know much

about the " Ponsieti Method " but I discern it is the least intrusive,

and that would fit with our philosophies of alternative meds as much

as humanly possible. I would love if someone would take a look at

his pictures and tell me what thier thoughts are. I dont know much

but from what I have researched so far, his feet do not " look " too

bad.

Thanks, I am glad I found this group. I am amazed at how there are

lists for everything. A blessing of the modern age.

Hi Jami-

You can send me pictures of the feet to hwray98@.... Also do you

have any history at this point to how his feet have been treated. You

mentioned casts in another posts, but was casting done from birth or did it

just start. Are you adopting from the states or from another country???

Have ANY surgeries been preformed???
