  Executive Summary:

Adoption Works Well

Dr. Patrick Fagan

[Originally Published November 2010]

Adoption is life-alteringly beneficial for children. Such is the general conclusion from a review of the literature. Adoption in the first 12 months of the child’s life produces the best outcomes, but all children will benefit, regardless of their age at placement. Adopted children outperform their non-adopted peers and non-adopted siblings.]]>
