The perceived maternal/parental rejection can leave a negative and long lasting impact on an adopted child’s life. It can increase the chances of internalizing and externalizing behavioral problems and decreases school performance and prosocial behavior. On some occasions, the lack of emotional adjustment may increase parental rejection and criticism which, in turn, may intensify children’s emotional reactions. More specifically, it was found that perceived parental rejection severely affects children and adult’s psychological adjustment and personality development. The current case study highlights all important factors which hinder the normal development of a 14 year old. The assessment modalities including School Children Problem Scale (Saleem & Mahmood, 2011) and Curriculum-based Assessment (CBA), revealed that the child’s perceived maternal rejection as well as shifting to a new city and school made him vulnerable. For these reasons, he experienced emotional, behavioral, and academic issues.
