The risks of adoption
Aisha Sultan
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

A short story about a study on adopted teens and their risk for psychiatric issues found adopted teens were twice as likely to suffer from attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. You can read it here.
The study did not speculate as to why, and I’m sure the there are many possible explanations.   Does anyone have personal experience to back this up or dispute this study? Does it have implications for future adoptions?
