it is easy just ask them if there are any genetic diseases that you need to be concerned about,

Doctors usually ask about:
1. Heart disease and high blood pressure
2 .Diabetes
3. Cancer
They like to know which side on the family and if it is from a parent or grandparent. Those are the top 3 that are usually of a concern. Good luck with your meeting.

1. Diabetes
2. Heart disease
3. Glaucoma (eye disease)
4. Mental illness
Ask if they know if anyone in the family has had any of the above (and any others that are thought off, or that they can think of) and be sure to have a pad of paper to write it all down.

im also adopted but she wouldnt meet....be prepared that they might not want to meet you,but hopefully its better for you then it was for me.....i wanted to know about health issues...ask her for all that she knows runs in the family and those that might.ask about birth defects and if you are planing on having children its handy to know so you can tell your health provider...i wish you the best!
