本研究以124名东欧孤儿为研究对象，考察了他们在安置后第一年的发育恢复情况。在采用时，发现了显著的生长和发育延迟，体重和身高低于第5百分位数的约一半。结果表明，有相当大的追赶在所有领域在postadoption。然而，年龄较大，后来安置的儿童表现出更多的发展迟缓相比，早期收养的儿童。回归分析表明，在收养时的发展延迟的程度沿着时间的持续时间在收养家庭和年龄在收养安置，预测显着的方差与发展追赶。与此相反，体重和身高在收养时没有相关的儿童的发展postadoption。
This research examined the degree of developmental recovery during the 1(st) year of placement in a sample of 124 children adopted from Eastern European orphanages. At the time of adoption, substantial growth and developmental delays were identified, with about half below the 5(th) percentile on weight and on height. Results indicated that there was considerable catch-up in all areas at postadoption. However, older, later placed children exhibited more developmental delays compared with earlier adopted children. Regression analysis revealed that the degree of developmental delay at the time of adoption, along with the duration of time spent in the adoptive home and age at adoption placement, predicted significant amounts of variance associated with developmental catch-up. In contrast, weight and height at time of adoption were not related to children's development postadoption.
