1-3 Short Paper 2 Two biological and environmental issues that interact in ways that may explain international adoptees’ physical growth problems are disease and inadequate healthcare. These two elements together make for many challenges. One study shows that international adoptees are more vulnerable to being infected by, carrying, and even spreading infectious diseases due to their weak immune systems. Most come from countries with insufficient healthcare and environments of low hygiene which puts them at an even higher risk of illnesses (Darr & Conn, 2015). There have been cases where the adopted child has transmitted diseases and illnesses to the close adoptive family. Some include Panton-Valentine leukocidin, bursitis, hepatitis A and B, giardiasis, scabies, molluscum, pediculosis, and latent tuberculosis (Sciauvaud et al., 2014). Protocols have been put into place to detect many elements the adoptee might have as well as treatments (Chiappini et al., 2019). Not that everywhere would agree, however, trying to set up a worldwide health protocol to administer certain types of antibiotics and vaccines to newborns and ill children.
