Child Welfare and Adoption Language Development and Disorders Family and Disability Support Research

Abstract

This research examined the impact of early institutionalization on child and family outcomes among 159 children adopted from orphanages during the first year of placement. At the time of adoption, substantial developmental delays were identified, but at post-adoption many delays had been made up. However, about one third of the children still exhibited speech and language delays and later placed children exhibited more parent-reported behavior problems. The findings show that families positively influence their children's development and that adoption has for the most part been very successful.
