Family Formation Study
We're collaborating with our colleagues in the UW School of Nursing (experts in supporting healthy attachments) on a pilot study looking at how attachments form in international adoption. If you're a pre-adoptive 1st-time parent planning to adopt an infant or toddler from Taiwan, please see this flyer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Center > Post-Placement > When should we schedule our post-adoption appointments?

As soon as you have travel plans, give the clinic a call at 206-598-3000 if you'd like to schedule a post-placement evaluation, as those appointments do fill up well in advance. We like to see new arrivals 1-2 weeks after they get home, to give you time to recover, nest, and get to know each other. If there are urgent medical issues you can call when you get home for an early visit at our clinic.

Following the initial clinic visit (it's a doozy), we like to see children every 2-3 months at first. Some families who live far away transition to a local provider after the 6-months-home visit, and we're happy to help.
