A psychologist is available to discuss potential developmental or behavioral questions that families may have regarding a particular child or the transition to parenthood in general.

The psychologist works with families using international adoption agencies to provide special consideration to the needs of children coming from international foster care or orphanages.

A 45 to 60 minute consultation in person or by telephone is available to support families prior to international adoption. Discussions may include the initial transition to the United States, special needs of children adopted from orphanages, the effects of trauma and neglect on development, racial socialization and sibling adjustment. The cost for a pre-adoption psychosocial consultation is $150. To request this service, please call (262) 432-6600.

Once your travel dates are set, you can make appointments to meet with a team of specialists at Children's Wisconsin. To request this service, please call (262) 432-6600 and request an international adoption program arrival visit.

Medical staff will meet with your family to discuss your child's healthcare needs and decide on a plan of care. After the visit, our staff will send your child's primary care doctor a summary of the visit and any follow-up recommendations.
