Adoption as Seen by Adoptive Parents: a Follow-up Study of 25 Children, Legally Adopted 10 or More Years Ago, with Particular Attention to the Parents' Current Feelings about the Adoption.

This is a study of adoptions completed through The Children's Service Centre of Montreal, to determine by personal interview with 22 adoptive parents how successful they feel their adoption has been, after having had the 25 children in their homes for ten years or more. Since adoption involves deep emotions, success or failure is dependent upon and reflected in attitudes and feelings in the relationships of family members. Thus, in learning how parents actually feel, the study attempts to test theoretical knowledge underlying current adoption procedure.
