“…It is estimated that at its peak in 2004, intercountry adoption involved 45,000 children worldwide (Selman, ) and approximately 410,000 children over the 2000–2010 decade (Selman, ). However, it is estimated that during 2004 to 2010 global numbers of intercountry adoptions declined to 29,000, which is at a level comparable with that recorded in 1998 (Selman, ).…”

Over the past decades international adoption has become a global phenomenon involving cross-border movement of vulnerable children, mainly from poor, undeveloped countries to wealthier countries. Debates around international adoptions invoke often passionate arguments for and against. At times seen as 'the ultimate form of imperialism', trafficking and exploitation of children, international adoptions are also praised as successful interventions in the lives of the most vulnerable children worldwide. This paper draws on research findings on the outcomes of international adoption and its impact on various aspects of adopted children's development and identifies the gaps relating to evidencebased interventions best suited to the needs of these children post-international adoption.

“…UNICEF (1999) has estimated that more than 10,000 children were taken from Romania between January 1990 and July 1991, when the newly established Romanian Adoption Committee finally imposed a moratorium (Selman, 2009a). In the five months from August 1990 to February 1991, 500 or more children went to France, Germany and Italy and at least 200 to Greece, Switzerland and the UK (Defence for Children International, 1991).…”

Peter Selman examines the recent history of intercountry adoption in Europe in the context of the enlarged EU, which contains both receiving and sending countries. The article provides a detailed analysis of the movement of children for adoption between European countries and examines the impact of intercountry adoption on the well-being of children in Europe and current debates in the European Parliament on the future of intercountry adoption in Europe.

“…Un gran número de niños son adoptados todos los años. En adopción internacional, la cifra mundial de las últimas décadas se aproxima con seguridad a los 40.000 niños por año (véase Selman, 2009). En algunos países europeos la adopción internacional tuvo un importante crecimiento hace algunos años, y luego conoció una cierta disminución.…”

Los niños y niñas adoptados suelen tener antecedentes de adversidad. Antes de su adopción, muchos fueron objeto de negligencia, maltrato y malnutrición, pasando además un tiempo significativo en instituciones. La investigación ha analizado los retrasos a su llegada y las posteriores posibilidades de recuperación en aspectos de desarrollo tales como el crecimiento físico, la vinculación afectiva, el desarrollo cognitivo y el rendimiento escolar, la autoestima y los problemas de conducta. Mediante una serie de meta-análisis de más de 270 estudios que incluyen a más de 230.000 niños, adoptados y no adoptados, se puso a prueba un modelo de recuperación. Aunque la recuperación respecto a los compañeros actuales sea incompleta en algunos aspectos de desarrollo (particularmente, del crecimiento físico y la vinculación afectiva), los adoptados superan ampliamente a sus compañeros institucionalizados y muestran una recuperación enorme en prácticamente todos los ámbitos de desarrollo. Los datos de esta comparación se contrastan con la información procedente de la investigación sobre adopción en España.
