Resumo

Research comparing samples of adoptees and non-adoptees at all agesfrequently observes a greater psychological vulnerability in the adoptiongroup, manifested as a higher rate of behavioral problems. Problems become more evident or severe during adolescence. Despite the relevanceof Spain in the international adoption landscape in previous decades,studies with Spanish samples are limited. This paper contributes to filling this gap by describing the incidence and severity of behavioral problems, reported by parents, in a sample of Spanish adolescent adopteesand analyzing the role of child pre-adoption factors. Parental CBCLreports of 64 Spanish adopted adolescents were compared with normative scores in Spain. The results showed no differences between adoptedadolescents and normative scores in total and broad-band scales. However, a significant group of adolescents show clinical scores that requirethe attention of social and mental health services. Boys show higher externalizing and total scores. Differences between adoption age groupswere found in social, aggression and externalizing problems, showing anon-linear pattern where adolescents adopted in their preschool yearsshow more problems those adopted before or after that age. Adolescentscoming from Asia showed fewer problems than other groups in severalscales, whereas those adopted from Eastern Europe showed more socialproblems than the other groups. Relevance for psychosocial interventionand limitations are discussed.
