If you are considering an intercountry adoption or have
already adopted, you may want to spend time on a new website – http://www.orphannutrition.org/. This website is co-sponsored by the Spoon Foundation
(www.spoonfoundation.org) , the Joint Council
on International Children Services (www.jointcouncil.org),
and the Mead Johnson Nutrition Foundation
(www.meadjohnson.com).
This relatively new website is still under construction but
already contains a plethora of information about nutrition and malnutrition,
health issues often faced by children living in institutions, health issues
faced by some of the children who are available for adoption (low birth weight,
fetal alcohol syndrome, cleft lip/palate, and cerebral palsy), and growth
charts. This website looks to be a great
resource!
