Welcome to the International Adoption Center

Welcome to the International Adoption Center's Passport newsletter!

Welcome to the International Adoption Center's Passport newsletter!

We are very excited to present our first newsletter and hope that you will find its content informative, fun and uplifting! We have so many wonderful International Adoption Center (IAC) families who have been willing to share their stories. We also want to share with you pertinent medical news and resources that adoptive families need.We hope you will enjoy reading our newsletter as much as we have enjoyed producing it.

This communiqué marks the beginning of a new growth period for the IAC.We are elated by the commitment of so many tremendous people.The IAC board and staff has proved to be a dynamic team dedicated to making the future of the International Adoption Center a secure one. That, along with the generosity of our donors, is paving the way for the expanded psychological and educational services I would like to offer at the center.

My dream of having a center began with the international adoption of my own children and continues with the families that come to the center every day.

We look forward to continuing to provide our families with a secure and positive environment for evaluating the health of their children and are committed to this great celebration of life.

Welcome to all our readers and many thanks to those who have made this possible!

Very sincerely,
Mary Allen Staat, MD, MPH
IAC Director
