You're getting great advice, but please remember that not all of us that place a child can provide good medical information. I filled out a 30 page questionaire as well. This was after my son was born and he was in the hospital and we didn't know if he would survive or not. I wasn't in the greatest frame of mind. Add to that I am adopted myself, during the closed era, my first mom has refused contact, and I don't know much.
Open adoption helps, but it isn't always a panacea. You also have to remember that you are trying to build a relationship and that letting other people have all of your medical information can create a squicky feeling for some people. Remember what these people are entrusting you with and treat it as you would want your medical information treated.
