The International Adoption Clinic (IAC) offers services to families adopting children from outside the United States, many of whom may have medical or developmental needs. Only a few such programs are offered throughout the country and no other exists in Wisconsin. Visit the for additional details.

The clinic provides:

• Pre-adoption medical record review
  A medical specialist in our clinic is available to review medical records, photos, videos and other health care history or information on children currently living overseas.
  
  
• Pre-adoption psychosocial consultation
  A psychologist is available to discuss potential developmental or behavioral questions that families may have regarding a particular child or the transition to parenthood in general. Our psychologist works with families to provide special consideration to the needs of children coming form international foster care or orphanages.
  
  
• Post-adoption developmental assessment and follow-up
  After the excitement and confusion of the initial phase of adoption, the child and family begin establishing their new lives together. For most children, this involves learning and adapting to many new experiences. The staff supports the family throughout this critical and exciting time. Follow-up visits over the first year of adoption are encouraged. Developmental assessments of the child and overall family adjustment becomes the main focus of the visits. Evaluation and therapeutic intervention also is available for older internationally adopted children if there is a concern about health, behavior or development.
