The Impact of Previous Type of Abuse and Sibling Adoption upon Adoptive Families.
Erich, Stephen; Leung, Patrick
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v26 n10 p1045-58 Oct 2002
Fifty-two parents of adopted children with histories of abuse or neglect were interviewed. Parents of children with histories of physical and sexual abuse reported lower family functioning than parents of children with histories of neglect. Also, parents who adopted sibling groups reported fewer child externalizing behavior problems but lower family functioning than parents who adopted a single child. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
