Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that adults previously excluded from adoption, such as older, single, gay/lesbian, poorer, and disabled individuals, have good placement outcomes as adoptive parents.

Option B is not correct because there is not enough evidence to suggest that these adoptive parents experience greater difficulties than those adopted by young couples.
