Adoption is an on-going process which affects each member of the adoptive family during each phase of the adoptee's maturation. Specific factors, such as insecurities of the adoptive parents, the child's awareness of his adoption in relation to his age and fantasies, and recently, the introduction of the possibility that the adoptee may arrange to meet his birth-parents later in life tend to add more perplexities to problems existing in these families. The normally turbulent age of adolescence increases anxieties in these vulnerable families. The pediatrician must understand the various factors uniquely inherent in adoption so that he can more effectively provide counsel to these patients.
收养是一个持续的过程，在被收养者成长的每个阶段都会影响收养家庭的每个成员。一些特定因素，比如养父母的不安全感、孩子在其年龄阶段对自己被收养情况的认知和幻想，以及近来出现的被收养者日后可能安排与亲生父母见面的可能性，往往会给这些家庭中原本就存在的问题增添更多困惑。青春期这个通常动荡不安的年龄段，会加剧这些脆弱家庭中的焦虑情绪。儿科医生必须了解收养中独特存在的各种因素，以便能更有效地为这些患者提供咨询服务。
