Abstract

A successful intercountry adoption could be defined as: the creation of a stable family unit that allows each adoptee to reach their full potential as an adult. The factors that determine whether or not international adoption is successful can be thought of in broad categories: biologic, psychological and societal. In each area there are many opportunities for future research.
