Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the sensitivity and responsiveness of parents to their adopted children, including those with core deficit-specific syndromes (such as attachment disorders), are not significantly different from those parents whose children do not have these syndromes. The quality of caregiving is more related to the parents' caregiving capacities and less to the child's pre-existing conditions.
