“…According to Welsh and Viana (2012) children who are ICA make significant developmental advancement after joining their adoptive family, which is consistent with the findings from the Misca (2014) article in this review. However, the investigators reported that the adoptees might not achieve an optimal developmental recovery.…”

Purpose The rate of children with complex health conditions or disabilities who are intercountry adopted (ICA) is increasing. These children have unique physical, developmental, and psychological needs that must be addressed as they integrate into adoptive families. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify considerations nurses must recognize when caring for children with complex health conditions or disabilities who are ICA and their families. Design and Methods A systematic literature review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Four databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ERIC) located 365 articles about intercountry adoption and complex health conditions or disability. Articles that were non‐English language, focused on attachment disorder or infectious disease, book chapters, dissertations, or case studies were excluded. Sixteen articles met inclusion criteria and informed this review. Results The systematic review identified eight themes: primary care resources, interdisciplinary care teams, cost, developmental difficulties, nutritional challenges, mental health issues, parental need for knowledge, and parental need for support. These themes correspond to nursing assessments that should be conducted during clinic visits for children with complex health conditions or disabilities who are ICA. Practice Implications This systematic review demonstrates that a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to address the needs of the child diagnosed with a complex health condition or disability and their family in the context of intercountry adoption. Children with a complex health condition or disability who are ICA have unique needs and require individualized care planning to maximize growth and developmental potential. Adoption is a life‐long process and adjustment is complicated by the medical needs that children with complex health conditions or disabilities experience. Parents will benefit from additional support and education as they integrate a new family member while also learning about the medical care needs of a child with a complex health condition or disability.

“…Similarly, GCS parents have good psychological well-being (van den Akker, 2007; Golombok, et al., 2006a) and good adaptation to parenthood, as well as warmth and attachment-related behaviours towards their infants (Golombok, et al., 2004; 2006a). In terms of family demographics, many ICA parents have other children, by natural birth, fostering or through other adoptions (Misca, 2013; 2014). By contrast, fewer GCS parents appear to have pre-existing children in their families (Golombok, et al., 2004; 2006b).…”

Over the decades, there have been numerous trends in the formation of family for those experiencing infertility. Adoption -initially domestic but now mostly international -has long been a prevailing method, with a dual outcome of also finding homes for parentless children. Those would-be parents with a stronger desire for genetic relatedness have turned to assisted reproductive technologies for the creation of their families. In the 21st century, capitalising on globalisation and advances in medical sciences and communication, global commercial surrogacy (GCS) is emerging as a dominant method of family formation. In seeking to publish this article in Adoption & Fostering, our primary objective was to provide its readership with an introductory look at GCS, thereby expanding an awareness of surrogacy to an audience whose work has traditionally been concerned with the care and protection of children through foster care and adoption. A secondary aim was to see where the long-standing field of adoption could potentially inform the burgeoning field of global commercial surrogacy. To achieve these objectives, we use international adoption and the adoption triangle as a framework, as we look at the similarities and differences between: (1) the adoptive and commissioning parents; (2) the birth mother and the surrogate; and (3) the adopted children and the children born of global surrogacy.

“…Cross-border or inter country child adoption is a global phenomenon that involves crossborder movement of vulnerable children, particularly those with low economic status, from developing countries to more developed nations (Misca, 2014). There has been a sharp increase in the number of inter country adoption cases over the period between 1998 and 2004.…”
