“…The female adoptees’ psychological adjustment was more similar to that of their nonadopted peers, because there were no significant group differences in SOM, DEP, and PHOB subscales or in the PSDI. These findings are especially relevant considering the results of these participants in Wave 2 (15 years ago), when female adoptees showed greater behavioral and inattention problems in comparison to their classmates (large effect sizes) than did male adoptees in relation to their classmates (Sánchez-Sandoval, & Palacios, 2012). In adulthood, the differences between female adoptees and their peers have been reduced with respect to previous life stages (childhood and adolescence).…”

“…There are two contradictory viewpoints about development: one that defends adoption as a context for recovery from early adversity and one that defends the persistence of its effects (Rushton, 2014). As mentioned earlier, previous studies have shown more difficulties in adoptees in comparison to nonadoptees, but it has been revealed that adoptees have a better adjustment than do children in the foster care system (Sánchez-Sandoval & Palacios, 2012). Juffer et al (2011) showed that after adoption, children experienced an important recovery from their initial delays in development.…”

“…The rest of the comparisons were not significant: Positive Relationship: Wave 1, t (291) = 1.065, p > .05; Wave 2, t (253) = 2.097, p > .05; Detachment: Wave 1, t (291) = −1.221, p > .05; Wave 2, t (238.254) = −3.755, p < .05; Obedience: Wave 1, t (291) = .399, p > .05; Wave 2, t (253) = −.802, p > .05; Independence: Wave 1, t (291) = −.114, p > .05; Wave 2, t (253) = −.274, p > .05; and Control Problems: Wave 1, t (291) = −.515, p > .05; Wave 2, t (232.665) = 1.045, p > .05 (more information about this data is in Palacios & Sánchez-Sandoval, 1996). Parents and teachers were assessed about children’s emotional and behavioral problems with Rutter’s scales: Rutter Revised Parent Scale & Rutter Revised Teacher Scale (Hogg, Rutter, & Richman, 1997) in Wave 2 (more information appears in Sánchez-Sandoval & Palacios, 2012). No significant differences between those who participated in Wave 3 and those who did not were found on total scores for difficulties: parents, t (156.271) = .029, p > .05; teachers, t (79) = −.987, p > .05, or on types of problems: hyperactive: parents, t (271) = 1.179, p > .05; teachers, t (79) = −.901, p > .05; emotional: parents, t (271) = −.024, p > .05; teachers, t (79) = −.149, p > .05; behavioral: parents, t (271) = .049, p > .05; teachers, t (79) = −.879, p > .05; or prosocial: parents, t (271) = −.949, p > .05; teachers, t (79) = −.965, p > .05, difficulties.…”

Although adoptive families have been shown to provide a protective context for human development, some adopted children and adolescents are at increased risk for psychological adjustment problems. On the other hand, little is known about psychological adjustment of young adult adoptees. The aim of this study is to analyze the mental health and legal substance consumption (tobacco and alcohol) of young adults (n = 134) who were domestically adopted by Spanish families. Young adults showed significantly worse scores on the Symptom Check-List-90-R (Derogatis, 1975) and also more substance use than did the Spanish general population, but fewer difficulties than did the clinical population. On the Global Severity Index (GSI), 65.7% of adoptees were within the normal range, 24.6% were at risk, and 9.7% were within the clinical range. Male adoptees scored higher than expected for the general population on all subscales, whereas female adoptees did not. Age at adoption was not found to have a significant impact on adjustment.

“…No obstante, aunque no hay datos definitivos al respecto, parece que los niños post-institucionalizados procedentes de adopción internacional, especialmente en los adoptados de más de tres años de edad, pueden mostrar trastornos de conducta de tipo externalizante (Núñez, 2008). Gran parte de estos niños y niñas experimentan dificultades en las relaciones interpersonales y/o sus relaciones son deficitarias y/o inadecuadas, de forma que o lo pasan mal al interactuar con otras personas, o en sus relaciones hacen sufrir a los demás (Sánchez-Sandoval y Palacios, 2012).…”

España se ha convertido en uno de los países del mundo con mayor número de familias adoptantes. Los especialistas en adopción internacional muestran que estos niños tienen factores de riesgo psicológicos y físicos. A partir de los avances teórico-prácticos, el presente artículo analiza algunos de los riesgos y factores protectores de los niños y sus familias, a partir de los cuales se proponen los elementos básicos de la intervención con las familias y en las escuelas como los dos contextos más importantes para el ajuste adecuado del niño que proviene de adopción internacional. Para finalizar, se considera la importancia de que todas las familias adoptivas sean objeto de un seguimiento de forma preventiva, tras el proceso de adopción, que permita valorar cómo se están adaptando y cuáles pueden ser las necesidades de apoyo que garanticen su ajuste.Palabras-clave: Inclusión educativa, adopción internacional, factores de riesgo y factores de protección, ajuste de las familias adoptivas, intervención familiar, necesidades educativas especiales e intervención psicoeducativa.

“…Although there is a great amount of research on adopted children's and adolescent adjustment, including important meta-analysis, studies with Spanish samples are limited (Aramburu et al, 2020;Barcons et al, 2011;Berástegui, 2007Berástegui, , 2010Berástegui y Rosser, 2012;Fuentes et al, 2004;Sánchez-Sandoval & Palacios, 2012), despite the relevance of cultural issues in the shaping of the adoptive experience and child behavior (Barni et al, 2012;Masha et al, 2007) and the relevance of Spain in the international adoption scene in recent decades (Selman, 2009).…”

Research comparing samples of adoptees and non-adoptees at all ages frequently observes a greater psychological vulnerability in the adopted group, manifested as a higher rate of behavioral problems. Problems become more evident or severe during adolescence. Despite the relevance of Spain in the international adoption landscape in previous decades, studies with Spanish samples are limited. This paper contributes to fill this gap by describing the incidence and severity of behavioral problems, reported by parents, in a sample of Spanish adolescent adoptees and analyzing the role of child preadoptive factors. Parental CBCL reports of 64 Spanish adopted adolescents were compared with normative scores in Spain. The results showed no differences between adopted adolescents and normative scores in total and broadband scales. However, a significant group of adolescents show clinical scores that require attention of social and mental health services. Boys show higher externalizing and total scores. Differences in age at adoption groups were found in social, aggression and externalizing problems, showing a nonlinear pattern were adolescents adopted in their preschool years show more problems those adopted after and before that age. Adolescents coming from Asia showed lower problems than other groups in several scales whereas those adopted from Eastern Europe showed more social problems than the other groups. Relevance for psychosocial intervention and limitations are discussed.
