Which routines communicate welcome as a child settles into a new home?
The focus here is postadoptive warmth across multiple stages of children’s adjustment.
Who was studied?
Children adopted from care, with case-file data and questionnaire follow-up after placement
Age / stage: Childhood after adoption
Read with three questions
- How did the authors investigate postadoptive warmth across multiple stages of children’s adjustment?
- At what ages were each of the family measures and child outcomes actually collected?
- At which postplacement checks did carers report children’s adjustment, and how many families completed them?
Keep the limits in view
Case-file data covered more children than the questionnaire follow-ups, so trajectories describe a more limited group than the intake records.
