Experiences from adopting - part 1

One of the dissertations that I observed while working on my dissertation. Curry-Lourenco discusses the experiences of parents who adopted from Eastern Europe. The study looks at a nursing perspective for caring for families that have internationally adopted children. She covers issues such as the "effects of institutionalization, alcohol-related neuro-developmental disorder and reactive attachment disorder." It seems parents that adopt from Russia experience more intense problems overall than other countries. I am making that assumption from someone who observed adoptions from countries around the world.
