Modern Marriage
OfAdopted
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Adoption solves q great many
problems for foster parents and
children alike. It is a fine thing
and results in a great deal of
happiness for people who other
wise might never know such hap
pineSs. Childless couples certain
ly should consider adoption. But
and this is an important but"
don't think that by solving
some problems for all concerned
the act of adoption does not bring
up others. For example, should
an adopted child ever be told
who his parents are-or were?
Mr.. and Mrs. G. have found that
this is no easy question to answer.
They write me:
I'VE adopted q baby three years
ago. and have told her from the
beginning that she was q chosen
child, not our own flesh and blood
but just as dear to us. She has
not yet asked about her real
parents. but some day she will
certainly do so, and we have been
wondering whether to tell her.
We know who they are. Will it
be helpful or harmful to her to
be told?"
I don't know. Mrs. G. It de-
pends on a lot of different facts,
among others the attitude the
real parents might take if she
should some day look them up.
Child placing agencies usually
make a great effort to conceal
the true parenthood. In adop-
tionS arranged by the mother
herself. the court may require
that the couple adopting the
child know who the real parents
are.
How does the child think about
it. in later years? The Life His
tory Study Center made inquiries
from persons who had been
adopted in infancy. Occasional
contacts with one or both of the
natural parents are noted, but
none with any evidence that any
lasting satisfaction or help was
derived from the experience.
Many express q desire for cer-
tain basic information concern
ing their natural parents, but
there are few indications Of de-
sire for actual contact. A few
firmly declare that they have
no interest whatsoever"
The Life History Study Gen.
ter, 222 N. Hicks street, Phila-
delphiaN 2, Pa, is trying to get
additional information. II you
were an adopted child, you may
want to write to them and give
your own point Of view.
Many adopted children do feel
a natural curiosity, sometimes a
great desire, to see their real
parents. When they do so, they
may be disappointed; but at least
they know the worst is
probably not very bad. at that.
I have a reading list Of good
books and pamphlets on adop-
kion and foster parentage. which
you may want to consult. If you
enclose a stamped, self-addressed
envelope with your request, a
copy Of the reading list will be
sent to you with the compli-
ments Of this, newspaper.
Unless there are circumstances
that dictate caution, my own
idea would be to tell your little
girl the truth when she asks
for it-not before.
