This title was first published in 2001. A systematic study of
non-relative adoption in Hong Kong. It examines the changing
profile of non-relative adoption between 1987 and 1993, from the
author's analysis of 486 case files. Characteristics of the
adoptive parents, adopted children and their birth parents are
presented in descriptive statistics. Three predictors of adoption
stresses are identified. Adjustment in adoption and threat to
parental entitlement were positively related to adoption stress;
parental education was negatively related to it. Apart from being
more stressful, Chinese adopters were found to be significantly
different from non-Chinese for having a lower level of
acknowledgement of difference. They are more worrisome over the
relationship with birth parents, are less ready to reveal adoption,
have better adoptive parent-child relationship, and possess higher
levels of personal qualities. The findings of the study suggest
that a post-legal adoption service is urgently needed.
