“…Our data also emphasize the different nuances of this overall adversity profile that emerge when each childcare placement is examined. For instance, the following antecedents characterized adoptee profiles: institutional care, illness, and developmental delay; that is consistent with earlier research findings (Hernández-Muela et al, 2003;Palacios et al, 2008). In every single case studied, youths in institutional care lived in a different facility previously.…”

“…; developmental delay (Jiménez & Palacios, 2008;Juffer & van IJzendoorn, 2009;Palacios, Sánchez-Sandoval, León, & Román, 2008); stays in institutional care, sometimes longer than desirable or with a very low quality of basic care (Rutter, 1998); number of past foster care placements (Palacios & Jiménez, 2009;Simmel, Barth, & Brooks, 2007); and at what age, sometimes quite late, a childcare placement began (Berástegui, 2005;Jiménez & Palacios, 2008;Simmel, Brooks, Barth, & Hinshaw, 2001). In addition, some studies have reported (Hernández-Muela, Mulas, Téllez de Meneses, & Roselló, 2003;Oliván, 2005) chronic or viral illness among these children, often requiring hospitalization and acute care, and different forms of disability (Fernández-Molina, 2008) that require greater parental dedication and can become a risk factor if parents do not have access to the educational resources and support needed for at least adequate care.…”

Adversity and Adjustment in Children in Institutions, Family Foster Care, and Adoption

2015

This study's objective was to identify the adversity profiles of children in different childcare placements, and to analyze their relationship with subsequent psychological adjustment. We studied a group of 230 children 4 to 10 years old indifferent childcare placements (international adoption, institutional care, non-kin foster care, and kinship care), as well as a control group. Information was collected from parent or caregiver interviews and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The results showed that children in the child welfare system had experienced significant adversity before their current placement, especially among institutional care cases and international adoptees. Meanwhile, children in kinship care had experienced less adversity (p .50 to d > .80). After a period of time in their respective placements, children's psychological adjustment was generally positive, but children living in institutional care exhibited the most problems and difficulties, followed by non-kin foster care cases (p .50 to d > .80). Finally, we found that children's early adversity levels (p < .05; r = .16), age of current placement (p < .01; r = .23), and duration of current placement (p < .05: r = -.19) were all tied to current psychological adjustment.

“…From the nineteenth century (XIX century), adoptive parenthood acquired enormous relevance, interest, and social visibility. All this is a consequence of the decrease in fertility rates, the incorporation of women into the labor market (the average age at which they decide to have children was postponed), the separation of marriage from reproduction, social changes in maternity (abortion and contraception), and the increase in marital infertility rates, but adoption was already carried out in ancient societies as previously mentioned (Hernández et al 2003).…”

The Study of Adoption in Archaeological Human Remains

et al. 2023

This review aims to establish criteria for identifying an adoption process in an archaeological context. We define adoption as raising an individual who does not belong genetically to the family. Adoption appears in different moments of past societies, and when establishing a “family” nucleus burial place we must consider certain social behaviors, such as burials under the houses, collective burials, or laying bodies in specific positions. After observing these signs, we are carrying out a genetic analysis, in order to confirm a biologically related family nucleus. These traces have been traditionally linked to family nuclei because they have been found previously in burials where biological kinship was confirmed. However, there can be cases where, after carrying out the genetic analyses, it is confirmed that certain individuals are not genetically related. In such cases, an adoption case cannot be ruled out. These cases are not easy to identify due to the differences between societies and cultures, so more in-depth studies should be carried out on the type of funeral practice in which these human remains are found to be able to discriminate an adopted individual from one who was not adopted. Therefore, the study of adoption should be carried out based on an in-depth knowledge of the cultural background, before using a powerful tool such as ancient DNA technology.
