title: Growing number of overseas adoptions leads to recommendations from Manitoba MDs.
abstract: Four Manitoba physicians have developed recommendations to help doctors provide medical advice and counselling to families that want to adopt children from foreign countries. Foreign adoptions are appealing to would-be parents, who might wait years to adopt a Canadian-born child, but in many countries there is a high risk that children placed for adoption will have medical conditions, infectious diseases and developmental problems.
