About the book

Children who have experienced orphanage care and have been placed for adoption have rarely been studied. The follow-up study of a group of ethnically Chinese women, adopted from Hong Kong orphanages in the 1960s by British families, provides a unique opportunity to understand the potential for recovery from early adversity and adaptation to radically changed life circumstances. Through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, this book examines not just the effects of orphanage care, but how human beings adapt and change over their lifespan.
