Parents Who Adopt Deprived Children Have a Difficult Task

Abstract A study was conducted on 72 families with 80 children adopted from Romania. The average age at adoption was 2 years,10 months, and at time of study 8 years. Adoptive parents experienced more family stress than a comparable group of non-adoptive parents. Divided into a group that did not (N = 29) and that did (N = 51) seek professional help, both groups showed less family stress than comparable non-adoptive groups. However, the group of 51 experienced more family stress than the groups (adoptive and non-adoptive) that didn't seek help. Adoptive parents are committed to their task, and resilient to their children's problem behavior. Parental stress and adoption satisfaction are negatively influenced if the child displays behavioral problems, but the age or the health of the child at arrival in the family were not related to parenting stress or adoption satisfaction.
