Among factors found to have a possible influence on this decision are: the family's prior experience with adoption and its motivation; biological family issues and how these are discussed and dealt with; continuity and quality of the relationship with case worker; socio-economic status of the family; the child's ability to form relationships and its resposiveness to the parents; the child's special needs as discussed during time adoption is considered. |
