    Author: Eldred CA, Rosenthal D, Wender PH, Kety SS, Schulsinger F, Welner J, Jacobsen B.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 1976 Apr; 46(2):279-90. PubMed ID: 1266951.
    Abstract:
    Various aspects of adoption--psychopathology, age at placement, agency versus independent placement, best age to tell child he is adopted, etc.--are studied in three groups of adoptees: biological parent schizophrenic or manic-depressive; adoptive parent schizoprenic or manic-depressive; biological parent with no psychiatric history. Findings raise questions about a number of common assumptions regarding adoptees.
