Independent Adoptions, a Follow-up Study

ELIZABETH P. RICE M.S.

The research in this follow-up study was the joint undertaking of the Florida Department of Public Welfare, the Russell Sage Foundation and the United States Children's Bureau.

The study, made during 1936 and 1957, deals only with independent adoptions or those which did not involve social agencies in the adoption placement. The study is concerned with the outcome of 484 white Florida children about ten years after the children were adopted. It attempted to determine the success of the independent adoption and to see if certain factors, especially at the time of adoption. are predicative of adoption outcome.
