Evaluation of outcomes was conducted with adoptive parents who participated in the ONLINE Growing up Together in A New Family, that consisted of 12 workshops with parents and 3 workshops of joint play.
Results of comparison of the pre- post self-reports of participants from 5 groups (N=24) indicate that the program participation is followed by an increased result in parental self-efficacy, parenting morale and openness for communication about adoption and a decreased result in parental stress.
These results provide preliminary support for the effectiveness of the programme Growing Up Together In a New Family – Online in improving parental experience of adoptive parents.
