The author comments on findings of a medical follow-up study of international adoptees in the United States, as reported to the NACAC (North American Council on Adoptable Children). In the report of this study, Dr. Dana Johnson, Director of the International Adoption Medical Clinic of the University of Minnesota, states that the problems of greater concern to parents where those related to behaviour, speech, language, vision and chronic ear infections - problems that "relate to neglect and the longer time spent in institutional care." |
