People have often thought that developmentally disabled children were hard to place and poor risks in adoption. However, this research shows that a large number of children of all ages and disabilities were placed for adoption with few disruptions. In light of these findings, agencies may well put more effort into identifying developmentally disabled children as suitable candidates for adoption services.
人们常常认为，发育障碍儿童很难被安置，而且被收养的风险很大。然而，这项研究表明，大量不同年龄和残疾类型的儿童都被成功收养，收养过程中很少出现收养关系破裂的情况。鉴于这些发现，各机构很可能会更加努力地将发育障碍儿童确定为收养服务的合适对象。
