In a sample of 210 couples, 29 had a natural child within 71/2 years of adoption. Excluding cases of absolute sterility and of no pregnancy on medical recommendation, post-adoption births were found to be associated with idiopathic infertility, having borne child(ren) before adoption, female and not male subfertility, and female age less than 36 years. Neither duration of infertile marriage before adoption nor the first four years thereafter were related to post-adoption fertility. However, four years after adoption child bearing was found to “taper off”, independently of mothers' ages and duration of marriages. The findings could be interpreted as giving an indirect support to the hypotheses that there is a causal connection between adoption and subsequent child bearing
