Description
Introduction The increased risks among international adoptees of social (eg criminality and drug/alcohol misuse) and psychiatric (eg suicidal behaviour) problems (Verhulst et al, 1990; Hjern et al, 2002; Tieman et al, 2005) present continuous challenges to social work and medical professionals. For researchers, a major concern is to identify the background factors that explain these risks and show how they can be modified by individual or general interventions. For society, the challenge is two-fold: firstly, to fulfil an overarching responsibility for the adoption procedure and the well-being of the families concerned; and secondly, to employ a variety of methods to improve interventions--for example, pre-adoption assessments of parental capacity, education for prospective adopters and instruments to monitor the development of the child.
