International Adoption

Riley Hospital for Children International Adoption Program at Indiana University Health provides premier pre- and post-adoption support for families and couples going through the adoption process. For more than a decade, we have been the only program in Indiana offering comprehensive and multidisciplinary clinical services in the area of international adoption. Our program has gained regional and national recognition and is a certified member of the Joint Council on International Children's Services.

A Highly Specialized International Adoption Team

No matter if you are a parent waiting for your child or your child has already joined your family, our highly specialized team of professionals can offer support at any time during the process. We understand the unique rewards and opportunities for growth when an orphaned child finds a forever family. Our core team, with international adoption expertise, includes a board-certified neurodevelopmental pediatrician, licensed psychologist, nurse practitioner and speech/language pathologist with expertise in feeding disorders. Our team regularly coordinates with other medical specialties within Riley Hospital when additional expert medical care is required (for example, cardiology, cleft and craniofacial anomalies, infectious diseases). We also have access to and partner with other professionals dedicated to children who have been internationally adopted, including pediatric neuropsychology, psychiatry and occupational therapy.
