Adopting a child can place very significant stress on the relationship between the parental couple.
Adoptive couples are very likely to experience additional strains on their relationship. For example, prior to the adoption they may have had difficulties in conceiving or issues around infertility and how these are negotiated and managed can be stressful for the couple. Added to this are the challenges of the adoption application process and the attendant frustrations involved in what can be a lengthy and emotionally draining experience.
In addition, the adopted children themselves often have traumatic or troubled histories – which can present considerable emotional challenges to the adoptive parental relationship, which then affect the couple’s capacity to provide effective, containing parenting to the child.
Tavistock Relationships has developed a bespoke service to help adoptive couples who are encountering difficulties in their relationship. Read about it here:

Becoming a parent, and being a parent, can affect the quality of people's couple relationships, positively and negatively.
Research conclusively shows that simply targeting the parent-child relationship in the context of ongoing inter-parental conflict does not lead to sustained positive outcomes for children.
This is one of the reasons why we have developed a parenting intervention which is relationally-focused, and which has achieved impressive results in terms of improving children's mental health and behaviour and improving the quality of couple relationship.

The ‘Building Relationships for Better Families’ programme helps with stress and conflict in relationships is affecting families.
The programme offers parents support to suit their circumstances to address conflict within their relationship as well as strengthening parenting skills to bring up children.
Support takes the form of one to one or group sessions delivered by experienced facilitators who are skilled in encouraging discussion around the modern struggles that parents and couples face.
During the programme, participants work on relationships, whether together or separate, and find ways to manage stresses and disagreements, exploring patterns of behaviour and tools and techniques to improve parenting skills and helping families succeed.
