Kazakhstan Adoption Alert
On May 17, 2010, the U.S. Consulate General in Almaty received confirmation that the Ministry of Education in Kazakhstan has given instructions to the Kazakhstani Embassy and Consulate in New York not to accept new dossiers for inter-country adoptions. The Ministry said that this moratorium on new adoption cases will remain in effect until Kazakhstan implements a Hague Convention-compliant system, which it intends to have in place by September 2010. Kazakhstani officials have confirmed that this moratorium will not affect adoptions already in process.

Medical Issues: Rickets
What is rickets?
Rickets is a bone problem that usually occurs in children. Rickets can make your child's bones hurt. The bones soften and can break easily.
What causes rickets?
Most cases of rickets are caused by a lack of vitamin D, but rickets can also be inherited. Children ages 6-24 months are at highest risk of rickets because their bones are growing very rapidly during this period.
How can the doctor tell if my child has rickets?
Your child will need a full physical exam. Blood tests and x-rays of the arms or legs can also help your doctor determine if your child has rickets.
How is rickets treated?
Treatment depends on the type of rickets your child has. Nutritional rickets is treated with vitamin D and calcium, and often improvements occur within a few weeks of treatment. If your child has inherited rickets or has an illness causing the problem, you may need to see a doctor who specializes in rickets. www.familydoctor.org
