Reports on the third stage of a longitudinal study of 12 children with Down's Syndrome placed for adoption by Barnardo's North East. The children are now aged 12 to 16 years and this article focuses on new issues arising for the children and their families, including the onset of puberty and the dilemmas over what to tell the children about their adoption. Overall the placements continue to prove successful with no breakdowns and a majority of the adoptive parents have subsequently adopted at least one more child with Down's Syndrome.
