Abstract
Adoption disruptions have been usually studied in special needs domestic adoptions. Much less is known about disruptions in international adoptions. Case records for 20 disruptions of international adoptions in Spain were analyzed in-depth. Factors related to parents' and children's characteristics, as well as professional intervention were found to be present in most cases of disruption. Whereas there seemed to be no single factor that can be considered responsible for the adoption breakdown, the accumulation of risk factors is associated with disruption.
