Produktbeschreibung

How do adoptions really turn out? First published in 1980, the study on which this book is based sought to answer this and other questions. The research involved 160 sets of parents and over 100 of their adopted children, now young adults. This was the largest group of adult adoptees to be interviewed and studied in a systematic way.
