Adoption is a lifelong process for everyone involved, with significant emotional and legal impacts. The classic "Seven Core Issues in Adoption," published in the early 1980s, outlined the seven lifelong issues experienced by all members of the adoption triad: loss, rejection, guilt and shame, grief, identity, intimacy, and mastery/control. Others have built on these core issues. In this section find resources on the core issues in adoption.

Some issues represent potential defects in the ISO/IEC IS14882:2020 document and corrected defects in the earlier2017, 2014, 2011, 2003, and 1998 documents; others refer totext in the working draft for the next revision of the C++language and not to any Standard text.
