FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Healthvues® Releases Adoption Explained: International DVD

Reno, Nevada, August 1, 2007 / -- iMed Design, inc. of Reno, Nevada, today announced the release of “Adoption Explained: International - A Comprehensive Look at the Processes and Issues of International Adoption.”  The title is published by Healthvues®, an iMed Design subsidiary.

Adoption Explained: International is an informative discussion about the varied and complicated issues surrounding adopting internationally. During the course of several days at a recent North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) annual conference, Healthvues interviewed leading adoption experts about many topics. The resulting programs contain a wealth of information, presented in a humanistic manner, that help empower individuals and families who are considering adoption to choose the best path for them.

“The original intent of these interviews was to provide an adoption perspective for our Infertility Explained DVD,” says Andrew Johnson, President of iMed Design, Inc., developer of Healthvues' titles, "but it became clear that the large amount of information we gathered during these sessions had great value to the adoption community. As adoptive parents ourselves, we felt this information would help others as they begin their adoption journey - or help experienced adoptive parents who might be considering a different path as they add to their family.”

Adoption Explained: International contains interviews from the following experts:

  • Patricia Johnston – adoption author, publisher and practical expert
  • Regina Kupecky, LSW – co-author, "Adopting the Hurt Child" and "Parenting the Hurt Child"
  • Dana Johnson, MD, PhD - founder of the International Adoption Clinic, University of Minnesota
  • Sarah Springer, MD - Medical Director, International Adoption Health Services of Western Pennsylvania
  • Kathie Stocker - Holt International Childrens Services
  • Michelle Johnson, MSW - Transracial Families of the North Carolina Triangle  

Adoption Explained: International's topics include:

  • Definitions and Overview of the Processes of International Adoption
  • Myths and Misconceptions
  • Trans-Racial and Special Needs Issues
  • The Medical Review Process, Common Health Indicators and the Role of the Adoption Medical Specialist
  • and others.

Adoption Explained: International is available for purchase through Healthvues.com, Amazon.com and other online retailers.
