This is when infants learn who to trust or mistrust. In this part of the timeline my boyfriend had to figure out if he was going to trust or mistrust his adoptive parents, he trusted them. He trusted them because he got a sense that they were okay people to trust. "infants gain a sense of trust, or confidence, that that world is good."

This is when 1-3 year olds start to do more things on their own. He experienced autonomy versus shame because he could start to feed himself and do more things on his own when he wanted to. "Using new mental and motor skills, children want to decide for themselves." He was able to do this because he trusted his parents. He chose autonomy.

He experienced initiative versus guilt because he started to figure out who he was going to be without being the kid that was adopted or the teachers son. He was able to do this because his parents encouraged him to be and do what he wanted to be and do. "Develops when parents support their child's sense of purpose." He chose initiative.

He experienced industry versus inferiority because he was going to school and was learning to work with others that were not his siblings and parents. He chose industry because he did not experience anything negative at home or school. "Inferiority develops when negative experiences at home, at school, or with peers lead to feelings of incompetence."

He experienced intimacy versus isolation because he was scared to get close to people which made it hard for him to develop intimate relationships. However he still did it so for this stage I believe he did “choose” intimacy because he did not let earlier disappointments get in the way of his relationships. "Earlier disappointments, some individuals cannot form close bonds and remain isolated."

Even though this has not happened, yet it could help with relationships and him to be closer to people because he will be able to care for others and be empathetic about it. This making him “choose” generatively. "Giving to the next generation through child rearing, caring for others, or productive work."

Even though this has not happened yet it could make him wonder what life would have been like if he was never adopted but be happy with the life he lived. This being integrity. "Feeling that life was worth living as it happened."
