The purpose of this study were to understand the actual states of the disclosed adoptive families in Korea and to develop an effective parent education program based upon the adoptive families's various needs. The subjects of this study were parents from the self-help group of the disclosed adoptive families. They thought the strongness of activities of the group is forming close relationships with other families and getting good knowledges about parenting. And they pointed out the weakness of their group is having non systematic programs. All of the parents need the parent education program which contains the informations of the adoption-related problems and child-rearing skills as a part of the activities of their group. Based on the present conditions of the adoptive families and their needs a parent education program for the disclose adoptive parents was developed in this study. And it was suggested that the parent education program would be conducted and it's effects should be assessed through the subjective evaluation process.
