Abstract
Attention needs to be drawn to an important study of adopted children published recently by Bohman. In this 10- to 11-year follow-up study of children placed for adoption before 2 years of age by the Stockholm Adoption Agency in the mid 1950s, the health, school performance, school behavior, and school adjustment of 168 adopted children were compared to those of an appropriate set of control children. The importance of genetic, prenatal, and perinatal factors for the child's development were investigated as well as the adoptive parent's backgrounds, education, attitudes on child rearing, and socioeconomic status.
