| Abstract | International adoption creates additional challenges for discussing adoption. Brodzinsky (2011) suggests the two most important challenges for parents are to: decide how to share adoption information with their children and how to help children of different ages understand the meaning and implications of being adopted. He suggests 12 guidelines to give to parents, including being honest, developmentally appropriate, normalizing child feelings, and avoiding negative judgments. This study looked at what parents appear to be doing when they discuss the adoption story with their children and explored whether parents seemed to be acting in line with Brodzinsky’s recommendations. |
