Answer to Question 1

a. Indicative of maladjustment
b. A common reaction to divorce
c. Suggestive of a lack of adequate parenting
d. An unusual response that indicates a need for referral

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is important for the parents not to withhold information about the adoption from the child. It is an essential component of the child's identity. There is no recommended best time to tell children. It is believed that children should be told young enough so they do not remember a time when they did not know. It should be done before the children enter school to prevent third parties from telling the children before the parents have had the opportunity.
