AB  - Raising  a  child  outside  the  child’s  biological  family  of  origin,  as  in  foster  care  or  adoption,  presents  a  unique  set  of  psychosocial  challenges  involving  an  interplay  between  transition  and  adaptation.  The  child  must  contend  with  separation  from  and  possible  reunification  with  the  birth  parent,  adjustments  to  1  or  more  families,  and  changes  in  physical  environment,  social  support,  and  care  providers.  The  foster  or  adoptive  parents  are  challenged  with  helping  the  child  integrate  into  a  new  family,  taking  into  account  the  child’s  previous  experiences,  and  facing  the  possibility  of  further  transitions  in  the  future.  The  child’s  and  family’s  success  in  adapting  to  these  changes  in  care  are  influenced  by  a  complex  interaction  between  innate,  individual  capabilities  and  external  resources.  Nowhere  is  the  traditional  role  of  the  pediatric  provider  more  important  in  providing  continuity  of  care,  family  guidance,  and  support  for  the  physical,  neurodevelopmental,  and  emotional  needs  of  the  child  and  family.
