International Adoption Clinic

The Center for Disabilities and Development, part of UI Children’s Hospital, has opened an International Adoption Health Program to help families with some of the unique issues—medical, social, educational, and psychological—that may affect internationally adopted children.

The Program uses a multidisciplinary approach and provides both pre- and post-adoption consultation and evaluation, as well as ongoing consultation and services. To make an appointment, call 319-353-6900. Families and physicians outside of the area can call 877-686-0031 or e-mail cdd-scheduling@uiowa.edu.
