Abstract
We describe the role of psychological testimony in a legally contested adoption concerning a 13-month-old infant whose foster parents had cared for him since early infancy. Using the concept of attachment, psychological testimony emphasized the duration and quality of his relationship to his foster parents in order to suggest that a separation from them would pose a significant psychological stress. This report has implications for psychological testimony and placement decisions in similar situations.
