18、f there are special problems for an adopted child. Child and adolescent psychiatrists(精神病学 家 ) recommend that the child be told about the adoption by the adoptive parents. Children should be told about their adoption in a way that they can understand. There are two different views on when a child sh
19、ould be told about the adoption. Many experts believe the child should be told at earliest age possible. This approach provides the child an early opportunity to accept and integrate the concept of being “adopted“. Other experts believe that telling a child too early may confuse the young child who
20、cant really understand the event. These experts advise waiting until the child is older. In either case, children should learn of their adoption from the adoptive parents.
