DESCRIPTION:Most children grow up in family contexts with a good amount of
  stability\, whereas adopted children’s lives are marked by sharp discon
 tinuity. Being the most extreme out-of-home placement alternative\, adopti
 on typically involves children with early experiences of abuse and neglect
 \, which in the case of intercountry adoption are often continued by expos
 ure to institutional care. As a consequence\, when these children make the
  transition to their new families through adoption\, their growth and psyc
 hological development are marked by delays and difficulties. Adoption affo
 rds most of these children stability\, stimulation\, nurturance and affect
 . This profound positive discontinuity makes it possible to study the stab
 ility and change in their developmental trajectories. The heterogeneity of
  the process of recovery will be illustrated with the findings of a longit
 udinal study in which physical growth\, executive functions\, intelligence
 \, attachment and social integration are considered.
