Synopsis

This is an evocative and unique follow-up study of a group of women adopted from Hong Kong institutions in the 1960s by British families. Children who have experienced orphanage care and have then been adopted have rarely been studied into adulthood.

The extent to which early adversity, especially lack of personalised care, creates difficulties in child development has been a longstanding question in the field. This study offers a rare opportunity to pull together and analyse information from the early orphanage years, the women's subsequent lives in the UK, and their current psychological and social status.

The study is brought to life with a range of deeply personal reflections by the women on their orphanage experiences and adoptive life.
