AbstractAdoption research has in recent decades provided psychologists with valuable information on the effects of environment on the development of intellectual skills and personality problems. This effect is illustrated by three follow-up studies of adoption. These case studies illustrate both the strengths and the potential weaknesses of adoption in meeting the needs of "unwanted" children.
