Informed decisions in child welfare: The use of attachment theory
The purpose of this article is to help child welfare workers better understand and utilize attachment theory in their decision making with abused and neglected children. The authors review attachment theory, research on the effects of maltreatment on attachment, and research on foster care and attachment. Guidelines and specific interventions supporting children's secure attachments during involvement with the child welfare process (e.g., before placement, at time of placement, during placement, and at reunion) are provided.

Orphanage experience alters brain development
By studying these children and the problems they face, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a better understanding of how certain early childhood experiences can alter the development of the brain and, as result, also alter the development of particular skills or abilities.

Speech and Language Development in Children Adopted from China
From the website: "As a child language researcher, speech-language pathologist, and mother of a daughter adopted from China, I have both personal and professional interests in these issues. For the past 5 years, I have been developing a line of research addressing speech and language development in children adopted from China (and other Asian countries). This web site contains information about the background and rationale for this research, recent and ongoing projects, a list of references, and links to other researchers and resources."

The Development of Ethnic Identity Among Chinese Adoptees: Paradoxical Effects of School Diversity
The development of attitudes towards one's own as well as other ethnic groups are childhood precursors of ethnic identity. The current paper examines the formation of ethnic attitudes among 266 school-age children who were born in China and adopted by Americans and, at the time of the study, were attending 254 different elementary schools across the country. We hypothesized that a disposition to associate socially desirable traits with being Chinese would be fostered by a school environment that was itself racially and ethnically diverse. In order to test this hypothesis, we linked attitudinal data from a photo preference task with archival data quantifying the number and distribution of students of different races and ethnicities in each child's school and other relevant data elements from a parents' questionnaire. The results do not support the assumption that diversity at school encourages children adopted from China to associate socially desirable traits with being Chinese. To the contrary, children attending schools with greater diversity were less likely to show a Chinese preference, and more likely to show a White preference. Further analysis suggested that such paradoxical results may be explained by the privileged economic status of the adoptive children which gave them more in common with White than with other minority classmates.

Wanting a Daughter, Needing a Son: Abandonment, Adoption and Orphanage Care in China
Kay Johnson has done groundbreaking research on abandonment and adoption in China. In Wanting a Daughter, Needing a Son, Johnson untangles the complex interactions between these social practices and the government’s population policies. She also documents the many unintended consequences, including the overcrowding of orphanages that led China to begin international adoptions.

Children in foster care are at heightened risk for poor psychosocial outcomes. This study examined differences in two areas that may be associated with many of these outcomes, emotion understanding and theory of mind, using a sample of 3- to 5-year-old maltreated foster children (n = 60) and a comparison group of same-aged, low-income, nonmaltreated children living with their biological families (n = 31). Being in foster care was significantly associated with worse emotion understanding and theory of mind capabilities, even when accounting for age, intelligence, and executive function. There were no significant associations between length of time in foster care, number of transitions, and emotion understanding and theory of mind. Results help to expand knowledge about the cognitive and affective deficits of children in foster care and suggest that interventions targeted at these deficits include an emphasis on emotion understanding and theory of mind.
