, sample
165 romanian orphans adopted in britain, 52 british children adopted around the

physical, cognitive and emotional development was assessed at ages 4 6, 11 and 15

on arrival to the uk, half the adoptees showed delayed intellectual development and
were severely malnourished

their age of adoption (ie how long they were institutionalised for)
adopted before 6 months adopted after 6 months
mean iq - 102 mean iq - 82 (after 2 years - 77)

attachment
📌 disinhibited attachment - where a child is displaying attachment
behaviours to everyone (is due to the fact that these children are used to
multiple carers and they do not know who they should be attached to -
