Abstract | Used National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data to compare adolescent adjustment problems in two-parent adoptive families, two-parent biologic families, and step- or single-parent biologic families. Found that adjustment difficulties were far more common among adolescents in step- and single-parent families than in other groups. Adoptees were more likely than adolescents in two-parent biologic families to run away from home, to obtain counseling, and have lower motivation for college matriculation. (Author/KB) |
