How can we make welcome and affection predictable after a major family transition?
This article addresses adoptive parental warmth alongside adversity before placement.
Who was studied?
Children adopted from care in the Wales Adoption Cohort Study
Age / stage: Childhood after adoption
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate adoptive parental warmth alongside adversity before placement?
- At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
- How do the case-file histories differ from what adoptive parents reported after placement?
Keep the limits in view
Records of adversity can be incomplete, and the children with questionnaire follow-up can differ from those represented only in files.
