Since 1989, more than 165,000 children have been adopted by
American parents. Every indication suggests that this number will
increase in the years to come. Many of these children arrive with
complex medical and behavioural problems. These children require
specialized medical attention to help them get well and adjust to
their new lives and surroundings. The Handbook of International
Adoption Medicine presents an overview of the medical and
developmental issues that affect internationally adopted children,
offering guidelines for families and physicians before, during, and
after adoption. Laurie Miller has comprehensively researched these
topics and also draws from over fifteen years of experience in
international adoption and orphanages throughout the world. This
book shows how to advise families prior to an international
adoption, how to perform an effective initial screening assessment
of the newly arrived child, how to manage common behaviour
problems, and how to recognize and manage developmental and other
more long-term problems as they emerge. Sections cover such
subjects as the risks of prenatal exposures, problems in growth and
development, infectious diseases, and other medical conditions such
as inherited disorders, uncertain age, and precocious puberty. This
information has never been available in one place, making the book
an invaluable resource for families and professionals in the field
of international adoption.
