description Because adopted children are overrepresented in mental health settings, their parents often consult psychologists to help them understand and manage some of the unique developmental and childrearing challenges they commonly face.

It also provides psychologists with useful guidelines for supporting parents to meet the challenges of discussing adoption with their children.
