Adoption reflects and is shaped by social changes and attitudes towards matters as diverse as sexual behaviour, single parenthood, religious beliefs and surrogacy. Adoptive families are different from most families in that they are artificially constructed to provide psychological (as separate from biological) parenting. The moral and practical complexities which surround adoption require reasoned and intelligent analysis.
The combined international knowledge and experience of the three authors of this book enables them to provide a unique perspective. By analysing the policies and practices of the past, the authors answer the challenges of the present and plan for the debates of the future. Covering arguments such as transracial placements, intercountry adoption, open adoption and the adoption of children by single people, the book is comprehensive and child-centred in its outlook There are also chapters on preparing adoptive parents and children for placement.
This is the first book to bring together in a single volume the theoretical, policy and practical issues surrounding adoption. Being an up-to-date summary and thorough review of the current state of knowledge, it will inform policy maker, student and practitioner alike. It contains material which will help those intimately involved in adoption, whether professionally or personally, to improve their understanding and enjoyment of the experience.
