A cohort of 624 children, candidates for adoption as infants, were investigated at 11 and 15 yr of age. At 11 yr these children ran a greater risk than classmates of developing nervous disturbances and symptoms of maladjustment, regardless of whether they were growing up in an adoptive home, a foster home or with their biological mother. At 15 yr there was little difference in adjustment between the adopted children and their classmates, whereas children growing up in foster homes or with their biological mothers displayed a high proportion of social maladjustment and/or underachievement at school. Implications for child placement policies are discussed.
