I agree Tracy. One of the articles says that there are over 1.5 million adopted children under the age of 18. With only 500-600 children used for the sample, and all the children were from one state, it's hardly a true result. But it''s a start, and it might be the best so far.
I think it's a very interesting study. And with such a small size in the sample, I actually find the results more promising than the titles of the articles suggest.
