Exploring how rising family dissolutions affect adopted children, we investigated two competing viewpoints: 1) a double jeopardy hypothesis, positing adoptees are susceptible to heightened risks of adjustment problems because of a compounding of parental losses, versus 2), a buffering hypothesis, suggesting early birth parent losses buffer an adoptee s ability to accept parental loss from divorce. With data from the 1994 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health Survey), we compared adaptations of adolescent adoptees living with one adoptive parent (N=143) with those of children living in step-or single-parent biological families (N=7,457) in a nationally representative sample. Results were mixed, showing more overall support for the buffering hypothesis, though some evidence of adoptee double jeopardy did emerge.

Married couples who adopt older children from foster care, especially children with special needs, can often face unique marital stressors. This article explores strategies for strengthening marriages using a sample of adoptive couples who participated in marriage enrichment events sponsored by an innovative state and federally funded Healthy Marriage Initiative project. The authors found that participation in marriage enrichment events aimed at building support networks among adoptive couples can be valuable in helping couples to bolster their relationships and find needed support from couples with similar experiences. Implications and suggestions for the continued development of marriage enrichment services with adoptive couples are given.
