Abstract

Most children adopted in a foreign country present somatic disorders, which can have an impact on the construction of the bond with the adoptive parents. This potential complication must be taken into account in the adoption procedure and during the post-adoption follow-up, taking on board the trauma of everyone involved.

Keywords: adoption internationale; attachement; bond; child psychiatry; international adoption; pédopsychiatrie; somatic disorder; trouble somatique.
