Management of sleep challenges in children adopted from China has not been thoroughly addressed in literature, but it is one of the most important issues to parents after adoption. Although sleep issues in adopted children from China appear to be more prevalent than in non-adopted children, there is limited research providing parents with an understanding of how these sleep problems manifest or suggestions to manage the problem. The purpose of this study was to describe what sleep issues look like in children after being adopted from China and to identify the most successful management techniques. The primary research question was: What were the effective techniques for managing sleep problems in children adopted from China? The interview began “tell me about the sleep issues in you child”?
