Much anxiety is generated about whether or not a particular family placement will have a satisfactory outcome for the children concerned. This article by Barbara Prynn is based on research in which the relationship between adopters and their adopted children was examined. The parents of 50 adoptive families were interviewed. They were asked about their early lives in their families of origin, their experience with their adopted children and their life as adopters in the wider social context. Links are made between a number of aspects of adoptive family life and outcome, in particular the significance of adopters' own early attachment experience
