If an older
child has received a degree of special treatment such as
foster care or a especially assigned and paid for caretaker within the institutional setting, this may certainly facilitate a smoother transition to an American home but it is so very important that newly adoptive families
understand that they are a very different experience to the older post-institutionalized
child who may view them as objects of indiscriminant attachment or people who can be easily manipulated into giving all the things which they never had: food, clothing, toys, games, socialization and unconditional love
in the absence of structure or consistency.
