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. 606 $aAdopted children -- Diseases -- United States 606 $aAdopted children -- Health and hygiene -- United States 606 $aAdopted children -- Medical care -- United States 606 $aIntercountry adoption 606 $aInterracial adoption 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aAdopted children -- Diseases -- United States. 615 4$aAdopted children -- Health and hygiene -- United States. 615 4$aAdopted children -- Medical care -- United States. 615 4$aIntercountry adoption. 615 4$aInterracial adoption. 676 $a618.92 700 $aMiller$b Laurie C$01029533 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457971903321 996 $aHandbook of International Adoption Medicine$92446011 997 $aUNINA
