Abstract: Examined quality of parent-adopted child relationships when child was age 16 and over age 23. Found that poor start/late adoptions experienced more family turmoil during the adolescent and young adult years but that families that survived the most stressful years often reported much more relaxed, reciprocal relationships with their grown-up children; parents also called for postadoption support.
