Adoption Health Services

WELCOME!

We are pleased to have this opportunity to provide you, and your family, with health care throughout the adoption process, from pre-adoption medical reviews to post-adoption checkups and beyond. Whether you are adopting internationally or domestically, we can provide the services you need.

Our goal is to provide a broad range of health services for you and your family because the adoption process involves more than just the adopted child.

We are located within the Department of Family Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon. Our department has consistently ranked among the nation's top five family medicine programs (U.S. News & World Report) and we are proud to be part of it.

Dr. Hayes, our adoption medicine specialist, possesses broad skills in areas of Family Medicine that support her work in Adoption Medicine including infant, early child and adolescent development, prenatal and obstetric care, and addiction medicine. She will assist you when you need to see a specialist . . . which means you also will have access to the best specialists at OHSU and within the Portland-Metropolitan community.

We are here to facilitate the integration and adjustment of your adopted child with you and your family. 

Here are some of the services we can provide for your international or domestic adoption:

  • adoption physicals (Notary service on site)
