were adopted from 1989-1991, in 2002, 5,900 Chinese
children were adopted by US parents. Little is known
about the scientific, psychological, or social
issues surrounding the adopted children and their
parents. The study used a qualitative approach to

adoption experience, for the adoption to improve the
family unit; 3) Changes in the parents
relationships after the adoption; 4) The adoptive
parents expectations of the adopted child; 5) The
