本文总结了收容后儿童发展结果的研究，并讨论了其对社会政策的影响。收容后的儿童往往会在领养家庭中出现不同程度的身体发育迟缓、认知迟缓和社会情感问题。许多儿童在被收养后表现出显著的康复。不幸的是，一些儿童继续表现出需要专业干预的严重问题。看来，儿童的康复可能受到他们与出生家庭和机构照料的早期经历的影响，而且有提示证据表明，收养后的经历也起到了作用。这些发现表明，收养前和收养后服务可能会支持收容后儿童的结果。
This article summarizes the research on the developmental outcomes of postinstitutionalized children and discusses the implications for social policy. Postinstitutionalized children often reach their adoptive families with varying degrees of physical growth retardation, cognitive delays, and socioemotional problems. Many children demonstrate remarkable recovery following adoption. Unfortunately, some of the children continue to display significant problems that require professional intervention. It appears that the children's recovery may be influenced by their early experiences with their birth family and in institutional care, and there is suggestive evidence that postadoption experiences also play a role. These findings indicate that preadoption and postadoption services may support the outcome of postinstitutionalized children.
