    Area of Science:

    • Child Development
    • Social Work
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Historically, developmentally disabled children faced significant barriers to adoption.
    • Prevailing beliefs suggested these children were difficult to place and posed high risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To challenge the notion that developmentally disabled children are unsuitable for adoption.
    • To evaluate the success rates of adoption placements for children with developmental disabilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of adoption placement data for children with varying ages and disabilities.
    • Tracking disruption rates in adoption placements.

    Main Results:

    • A significant number of children with developmental disabilities were successfully placed for adoption.
    • Adoption placements for these children experienced few disruptions across all age groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Developmentally disabled children represent a viable population for adoption services.
    • Adoption agencies should increase efforts to identify and support the adoption of these children.
