  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Social Work

Background:

  • Adoptive families face unique challenges and require tailored support.
  • Public health nurses (PHNs) play a crucial role in supporting adoptive families.

  • Participants included adoptive parents, adoptive mothers, public health nurses, and adult adoptees.
  • Data analysis involved intuitive analysis and systematic categorization.

Main Results:

  • Adoptive families often self-manage common challenges but express a need for professional assistance.
  • Key themes identified include attachment difficulties, external categorization, grief, and biological heritage.
  • There is a significant need for increased knowledge among public health nurses and other welfare professionals regarding adoptive families' needs, especially for transracial families.

Conclusions:
