Abstract:

Thirty children adopted from China (mean age = 13.6 months at adoption) were assessed and followed two years following adoption. They were compared to 31 nonadopted Canadian girls of similar age and family background. The study used the Strange Situation Procedure to assess attachment. The adopted children showed signs of having a secure attachment with their mothers, although there was some evidence that disorganized attachment characterized these children more so than for children in the comparison group.
