本研究探讨了收养开放程度的变化的后果，特别是从养父母的角度关注收养家庭系统的动态。参与者包括来自美国各地收养机构的190个收养家庭的父亲、母亲和至少一个被收养的孩子，以及169名生母。家庭包括62个秘密，17个有时间限制的调解，52个正在进行的调解，59个完全公开的收养。与秘密收养的父母相比，公开收养的父母通常表现出更高的认可度，对亲生父母和他们的孩子的同情心，对未来与孩子的关系有更强的持久感，并且更少担心生母可能会试图收回她的孩子。尽管存在这些平均差异，在所有级别的开放性的变化，结果进行了讨论，在通过收养建立一个家庭所涉及的正在进行的过程。
This study examines the consequences of variations in levels of openness in adoption, especially focusing on the dynamics of the adoptive family system from the perspective of the adoptive parents. Participants included the father, mother, and at least one adopted child in 190 adoptive families, and 169 birthmothers, drawn from adoption agencies across the United States. Families included 62 confidential, 17 time-limited mediated, 52 ongoing mediated, and 59 fully disclosed adoptions. When compared to parents in confidential adoptions, those in open adoptions generally demonstrated higher levels of acknowledgment of the adoption, empathy toward the birthparents and their child, a stronger sense of permanence in the relationship with their child as projected into the future, and less fear that the birthmother might try to reclaim her child. Despite these mean differences, variations within all levels of openness were present, and results are discussed in terms of the ongoing process involved in building a family through adoption.
