Physicians may find themselves involved in many phases of the adoption process, ranging from advising infertile couples who wish to adopt a child to caring for adopted children, adolescents or adults. Recent legislation has been aimed at making it possible for children to be adopted who have been receiving foster care and at providing financial assistance to implement the adoption of children with handicaps and with medical problems. The adoption process is becoming more open. Adoptees are searching for and finding their biological parents and all parties in the "adoption triangle" are developing relationships with one another.
医生可能会发现自己参与收养过程的许多阶段，从为希望收养孩子的不孕夫妇提供咨询，到照顾被收养的儿童、青少年或成年人。最近的立法旨在使那些一直受到寄养照顾的儿童能够被收养，并提供财政援助以促成对有残疾和医疗问题儿童的收养。收养过程正变得更加公开。被收养者正在寻找并找到他们的亲生父母，并且“收养三角”中的所有各方都在彼此发展关系。
