  • Title: Experiences, concerns, and service needs of families adopting children with prenatal substance exposure: summary and recommendations.
    Author: McCarty C, Waterman J, Burge D, Edelstein SB.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 1999; 78(5):561-77. PubMed ID: 10501013.
    Abstract:
    Parents who adopted children from out-of-home care with prenatal substance exposure were interviewed four months after the child's placement in the home, and again after the first year regarding their experience with adoption and their concerns about their child's development, attachment, and behavior; aspects of parenting and the adoption process; effects of prenatal substance exposure; and availability and helpfulness of resources. Adoptive parents found parenting children with prenatal substance exposure to be both more rewarding and more difficult than they had imagined.
