Pre-adoption stress and its association with child behavior in domestic special needs and international adoptions

Suicidal Thoughts in Adopted Versus Non-Adopted Youth: A Longitudinal Analysis in Adolescence, Early Young Adulthood, and Young Adulthood

“…Some research has compared children who were adopted versus those who were not, with no further distinctions. Research has shown that being adopted by kin differs qualitatively from being adopted by non-kin (e.g., Howard & Smith, 2003;Ryan, Hinterlong, Hegar, & Johnson, 2010), that being adopted at a young age differs qualitatively from being adopted later in childhood (e.g., Festinger, 2005;Hjern, Lindblad, & Vinnerljung, 2002;Smith & Howard, 1999), and that being adopted internationally differs qualitatively from being adopted domestically (e.g., Groza & Ryan, 2002;Juffer & IJzendoorn, 2005;Keyes et al, 2008). The present research makes such distinctions when comparing adopted with nonadopted youth in the context of the Figure 1 model.…”

Adoção nacional e internacional: processos proximais no período de convivencia

“…Assim, a integração da criança à família não se dá em apenas um evento, mas num processo dinâmico e contínuo, perpassado por transições e mudanças, havendo uma necessidade de ajuste da família, sendo que a maioria das famílias passa por esse processo com sucesso (Fuentes, 2006;Groza & Ryan, 2002;Jones & Hackett, 2011).…”

“…-e suas implicações para o desenvolvimento dessas crianças (Gleitman & Savaya, 2011;Groza & Ryan, 2002;McGuinness & Pallansch, 2007; Van den Dries, Juffer, IJzendoorn,& BakermansKranenburg, 2009). …”

Examining the primary school experiences of intercountry adoptees : perspectives of adoptive parents and children

“…Attachment theory and child development theory, together with the growing body of knowledge around the impact of traumatic experiences on the brain, pervade more recent discussion about the intercountry adoptee's experiences (Purvis, Cross, & Sunshine, 2007;Tottenham et al, 2010;Ziegler, 2011). Three main conditions for postadoptive well-being and development are commonly discussed, namely, the child's age at adoption, the continuing impact of pre-adoption experiences (such as neglect or length of time spent in an institution), and the current parent-child relationship (Decker & Omori, 2009;Groza & Ryan, 2002;Groze & Ileana, 1996;Sharma, McGue, & Benson, 1996b). Protective factors include such things as the child's temperament, thorough preparation of adoptive parents to ensure realistic expectations, and parenting and communication style (Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, 2010).…”

“…While most early studies focused on children adopted from Russia, Romania (see Groza & Ryan, 2002;Gunnar et al, 2000;Gunnar et al, 2007;Wilson, 2003) and other eastern European countries, more recent studies have considered the adjustment and ongoing development of children from China (Dalen, 2002(Dalen, , 2007Miller & Hendrie, 2000;Roberts, Krakow & Pollock, 2003;Tan & Yang, 2005;Tan, Marfo & Dedrick, 2010;Tan, Loker, Dedrick & Marfo, 2012). Miller and Hendrie (2000) studied 452 children adopted from China between 1991 and 1996 to determine their health and developmental status after arriving in the United States.…”
