| This new Web page for the International Adoption Clinic went live in December and is a comprehensive look at Riley Hospital’s clinic for internationally adopted children. Foreign-born children are frequently found to be nutritionally deficient and up to 75 percent have dental disease identified on entry into the country, among other health-care concerns. While international adoptions provide an incredible opportunity to unite children of overwhelming need with families deeply committed to caring for them, these children’s diverse geographic origins can present unique and difficult medical and psychosocial issues, and may be best addressed by specialists skilled in geographic medicine and complex pediatric assessment. If you or someone you know is pursuing an international child adoption, keep this Web site as a medical reference point. | |
