I submitted your draft Draft:Effects of Adoption on Mental Health Status for review following our conversation on IRC, but I don't think it will be accepted in its current state. It reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Some of the references are rather unhelpful; for example, what is ''C. (n.d.). Impact of Adoption on Adopted Persons. Retrieved 2013.'' - this article? Then a link would be helpful (and publisher and so on). Otherwise you'd need to give some indication what it might be. Also, much of the draft seems to be about the effects of being put in foster care and not getting adopted, not about those of getting adopted. Huon (talk) 02:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
