Parents Who Adopt Deprived Children Have a Difficult Task
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 experie…
Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder in Adopted Romanian Children Living in The Netherlands
The occurrence of symptoms of Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in eighty children adopted from Romania was studied. Their average age on arrival was 2.10 and at the start of this study 8 years. The 72 parent-couples (response 83%) were extensively interviewed and filled out the Dutch ADHD-questionnaire and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Twelve of the 80 participant children (15%, eleven boys and one girl) clearly showed symp…
The Importance of Adoption for Nurturing and Enhancing the Emotional and Intellectual Potential of Children
The present review examines whether the weight of the evidence indicates that adoption is, indeed, a benefit to the child. Several comparison groups have been used. In a number of studies, in United Kingdom, U.S.A. and India amongst others, a comparison has been made of the outcome of the child in his/her adoptive family to what it would have been had that child remained in her/his biological family, or in an institutional setting. Analyzing all …
Cross-Cultural Testing of Intelligence
Insight is sought into the usefulness and comparability of an intelligence test for schoolchildren living in India and in the Netherlands. A Dutch test, the Revisie Amsterdamse Kinder Intelligentie Test (RAKIT), was adapted to the Indian situation (Indian Child Intelligence Test [ICIT]). Using the ICIT and the RAKIT, 612 Indian children and 1,007 Dutch children were tested, respectively. The average test scores for the ICIT group were lower in a …
Changes in Motivation for Adoption, Value Orientations and Behavior in Three Generations of Adoptive Parents
It is hypothesized that in this century a pattern of three generations of adoptive parents has developed: the traditional-closed generation, the open-idealistic, and the materialistic-realistic generation. These three generations differ considerably in motives and attitudes concerning adoption. Changes in the adoption field are connected with important changes in society. Adoption has lost its taboo character, domestic adoption is decreasing or h…
