The purpose of the current study aims to investigate the impact of adoptive family on parent-child relationship and adjustment to adoption after receiving child-parent relationship therapy courses. The study recruited two adoptive mothers to participate, which was based on a 10-week model founded by Landreth and Bratton. The adoptive mothers were interviewed individually before, the sixth, and the tenth training sessions respectively through the semi-structured in-depth interviews. Qualitative data were analyzed by thematic analysis. The research findings were as follows. First, the child-parent relationship training courses assisted the adoptive mothers in improving their self-awareness of themselves and their adopted children's emotions. Adopted children expressed feelings more freely as they felt understood. By enhancing the interactional skills and attitudes through training, adoptive mothers modified the relationships with children, accepted children with tolerance and patience, and the parent-child relationships became more trustworthy and stable. Moreover, the child-parent relationship education courses helped the adoptive mothers adjusted their parenting attitudes and methods to support their children growing up. The adopted child's response to the disclosure of adoption was more accepted. Based on the mutual collaboration of adoptive parents, the adjustment of adoption among parents and the child became more harmonious. Based on the results of the present study, the authors provided recommendations for practitioners and future researchers.
