Peer reviewedMontalvo, Braulio; Colon, Fernando – Family Process, 1978
After an introduction by Braulio Montalvo, this paper examines the effects of current child placement practices on the child's ties to his biological, foster, and adoptive families. It explores alternative practices, and then shows the primacy of familial continuity in establishing a sense of self and personal significance. (Author/LPG)

However, if adoption records are unsealed by legislative acts, the primary needs of the adoptive and biological parents can be undermined by the needs of the adopted adult. (Author)
