The Adopted and Responsibility of Health Care Providers

on

 


For adopted individuals to be empowered to advocate for their healthcare needs, medical providers must know how to interact in an adoption identity affirming manner and create an environment where patients feel safe discussing their biological history. To accomplish this, adoption professionals and parents should partner with both adopted individuals and medical providers to find ways to thoughtfully navigate adopted patients’ healthcare needs. This issue of the Adoption Advocate explains how to begin that process.



Tip From Shanetria: NewvParents should obtain medical history from adoption agencies or if adoption is directly from adopted parent;,they should get that information beforehand. Adoption agencies should obtain this information when applicable in order to share with new families.
