Leading experts provide data and guidance for health professionals on a wide variety of adoption medicine topics. The first part of the book covers the process of adoption, including historical perspectives and legal issues. Then, individual chapters focus in on common health concerns for adopted children, such as behaviour, speech, and maltreatment issues. Additional chapters tackle long-term support for adopted children and their families, including school issues and search for identity.
