Services

We provide pre-adoption counseling through a telephone conference call or an office visit.

Counseling will provide a greater understanding of potential medical issues through a review of the prospective child's medical records including photograph and/or videotapes.

(fees vary and are payable by parents at time of service)

We provide a post-adoption clinic on Monday morning twice per month. A clinic visit will provide a comprehensive medical evaluation focusing on: disease screening (hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, etc), immunization status, growth, development.

(services billable to insurance)
