Synopsis

This groundbreaking research - the first of its kind in the UK - provides information on how many adoptions disrupt, and why.

It provides detailed estimates of the number of adoptions that disrupt post-order, explores the factors that influence disruption and compares the stability of adoption orders with special guardianship and residence orders.

An essential text for everyone involved in adoption placements, assessments or policy and procedures.

Product Description

Whilst the low adoption disruption rate is a positive finding, it masks the suffering of families who are in crisis or who have experienced a non-documented disruption. The book focuses on their struggles to understand their child's behaviour and access the right kinds of support, as well as the response of agencies to their plight.

Review

This is an important book...It should be essential reading for social workers and others whose practice brings them into contact with adopted children and their families and for those who are training to work in this area of practice. It will also be important for managers who are charged with developing good practice. --Dr Cherilyn Dance, Research Fellow, Manchester Metropolitan University, British Journal of Social Work
