Abstract
Adjustment and functioning of adoptive parents‐to‐be were examined during the last stage of expectancy, focusing on possible antecedents or determinants of successful parenting. Results failed to support expectations of short‐term adverse effects from transitional stresses, and suggested that the expectancy period may not be equivalent for adoptive and biological parents, especially for mothers. Programmatic implications are discussed. 1990 American Orthopsychiatric Association
