Abstract
This article examines differences in the well-being of American children adopted from foster care, from other domestic sources, and from international sources using the National Survey of Adoptive Parents with data merged from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. The authors explore the independent associations of child, parent, and family factors such as age of adoptive placement, transracial placement, socioeconomic status, and family structure with 8 child well-being indicators on which children adopted from foster care fare tend to fare worse than other adopted children. Covariates explain the association of adoption type with well-being for 5 out of 8 indicators.
