Pre-Adoption Developmental and Medical Screening:
               
    Congratulations on your decision to provide a loving home for a precious
    child! This wonderful but difficult decision can be made with less worry and
    greater confidence by receiving a developmental screening of your chosen
    child.

    To make your adoption decision with a higher level of confidence, your child’
    s medical and developmental history can be reviewed by an expert in the
    field of developmental medicine.

    A review of medical documentation can provide information regarding
    growth aberrations
    childhood metabolic disorders not routinely tested for outside of the US
    medical needs that require immediate attention upon placement in your
    home

    Video review is a powerful developmental assessment tool and can provide
    predictions regarding developmental delays and the need for supplemental
    therapies.

    A standard video review can provide information on
    developmental status
    movement patterns
    language production
    signs of autism, etc.

    Foreign adoptee’s may or may not have received appropriate vaccinations.
    A careful evaluation of immunity to vaccine targeted diseases must be
    conducted before US mandated vaccines are given, or worse, repeated
    unnecessarily. Parasites are common throughout the world. Specific
    laboratory techniques are utilized to detect a variety of parasitic and
    bacterial pathogens.

    Informed decisions make better decisions!
