Two studies Hartinger-Saunders, Trouteaud, and Johnson, (2015) and Hartinger-Saunders and Trouteaud (2015) used the same methodology and participant pool to determine two different hypothesis.

Unlike these findings, Houston and Kramer (2008) concluded that overtime adoptive parents did not perceive formal support as effective. However, participants did consider their informal supports as effective and beneficial. This study concluded that external supports is greater is of more importance than formal agency supports Of the 49 families initially surveyed, 18.37% terminated their adoption.
In the case study conducted by Burke et al. (2014), the child in case one met his goal. The child in case two met one goal, improving one two other objectives, and maintaining two other goals. Overall, the ASF program had served 90 cases and of these 77% of families were able to meet their objective and 81% of showed improvement. Overall, services provided indicated that both case studies improved in respect to their family functioning, supports, attachments.
