Psychological and academic adjustments were assessed in a group of 130 adopted children (six to 12 years of age) living in five different family constellations: only children, children with younger adopted siblings only, children with younger biological siblings only, children with older adopted siblings only, and children with older biological siblings only. Few differences were found from one cluster to another, suggesting that family structure, while complicating the dynamics of adoptive family life, plays a minor role in adoption adjustment.
对130名居住在五种不同家庭组合中的领养儿童（6至12岁）进行了心理和学业适应情况评估：独生子女、仅与年幼领养兄弟姐妹生活的儿童、仅与年幼亲生兄弟姐妹生活的儿童、仅与年长领养兄弟姐妹生活的儿童以及仅与年长亲生兄弟姐妹生活的儿童。不同组之间几乎没有发现差异，这表明家庭结构虽然使领养家庭生活的动态变得复杂，但在领养适应过程中起的作用较小。
