International Adoption Clinic
Providing a Strong Start for New Families
Each year, thousands of children are adopted from overseas. In order to meet the special needs of adoptive families, our healthcare providers established the International Adoption Clinic at the University of Chicago Comer Children’s Hospital. This unique resource has been designed to provide adoptive families with a wide range of services, including:
- Pre-adoption assessments
- Pre-adoption travel clinic visits
- Post-adoption medical evaluations
- Developmental evaluations
- Social services
- A comprehensive library of medical research and resources
Our board certified physicians and nurses specialize in providing medical, behavioral and developmental care to adopted children from China, Russia, Korea, Central America and other parts of the world. The International Adoption Clinic team works closely with health professionals in other specialties to offer a full range of pediatric services, including infectious disease consultations and other resources that will help ease the transition to a new home.
