title: Concerns regarding the follow-up of children conceived after assisted reproduction in Latin America.
abstract: Children born through assisted reproduction are not usually followed up in Latin America. However, in spite of all the social-economic and cultural complexity of this part of the world, professionals involved in assisted reproduction should not relinquish the responsibility of following up these children. In May 2002, the Centre for Human Reproduction Sinhá Junqueira, started a specific project for evaluation and follow-up of its children. It is the first centre in Brazil, and probably in Latin America, with this aim, and this paper reports initial results concerning the intellectual development of these children.
