Abstract: Internationally adopted children present specific health and social needs that deserve a dedicated care. In Italy, in the majority of cases, their medical evaluation is conducted by specific outpatient units belonging to a group of the Italian Society of Paediatrics, named Gruppo di Lavoro Nazionale per il Bambino Migrante (GLNBM). The aim of this article is to share the experience of the dedicated units in the Piedmont Region in order to highlight useful indications to establish a correct clinical approach, screening and follow up of these children, depending on their geographical origins and special needs by using 5 stories as an example.
