Studies of special needs adoptive families indicate that large proportions of parents are dissatisfied with the preparation they receive. Present forms of preparatory and supportive services by adoption agencies are reviewed, followed by descriptions of needed additions to and reemphasis in adoption services. These enhancements, such as more child-specific information, identification of problem areas, behavioral training, information on the impact of sexual abuse, identification of community resources, and availability of services over the life of the family, will help to better recruit and serve adoptive families.
