About Our Center

The medical care of children adopted from countries outside the United States presents unique challenges for families and healthcare providers. Internationally adopted children may be at risk for medical, developmental, and emotional problems not commonly seen in the United States.

  • Comprehensive medical evaluations
  • Developmental screenings
  • Psychosocial interdisciplinary evaluations for children

All children receive quality care and a comprehensive evaluation from our staff who are trained and experienced in international adoption issues. Our goal is to assist each family in allowing their child to develop to his or her maximum potential.
