There are several facilities across the United States, where medical doctors specializing in the health issues of intercountry adoptees (especially those in foreign orphanages) will review medical information (including videotapes and photographs) for prospective adoptive parents. These physicians are available for the evaluation of medical treatment for adopted children upon their arrival in the United States. This list is provided as a public service and should not be construed as a Clearinghouse recommendation of any one organization.
