Abstract

The survey's purpose was to investigate how children from the third world, who have been adopted to Norway, adapt to their new family and school. The starting point was that adopted children are a group that has experienced dramatic changes in their childhood circumstances, and their adaption will illuminate potentials for improvement. 151 adopted children born in 1975/1976 and their families were interviewed. Also, the child's teacher answered a questionnaire. A control group of children in the same age were also interviewed. Adaption was measured by applying Rutter's scale. The variables are concerned with the child's behavior at school and home, the child's development, special problems, school situation, language, intelligence, well-being and social skills.
