experienced by adoptive parents Mara said we arc people better for adoption of older children The Agency is even considering requiring couples to foster prior to adopting an older child By supporting adoptive parents before and after adoption It is hoped adoption disruption will be prevented and those children who need treatment will be identified John and Leslie are parents of five adopted children three of whom were adopted after six months of age and find the sup port group very helpful to them In in Interview Leslie Rutherford retailed that when we first idopted we knew Intellectually that would be more challenging than having biological children but we hoped problems would bypass us When children arc adopted at an older age they come without a totally clean page in

of longer dura ion she said While Leslie says that neighbors and friends are supportive they don t understand the complexities of her children special needs The support group she said helps adoptive parents feel less Isolated as they find other people having similar kinds of problems Three of the children art of native background and through their volunteer work with the Children Aid Society they are well aware of some of the stresses placed on native children especially during the teen years when they are struggling with their Identity and cultural backgrounds Cultural clashes conflicts in
