| Free text | Winter 1999 issue of this publication: article on Independent fostering agencies by Clive Sellick where the author reviews this practice in the UK and considers it as possibly a complementary service to those offered by the child welfare sector. In The role of social workers in intercountry adoption: an analysis of the experience of adopters from Romania, the authors illustrate some of the issues involved in British intercountry adoptions, including what some families who adopted from Romania perceived as a certain "ambivalence", inflexibility and "unsympathetic" attitude towards applicants; they advocate that specialised and properly experienced personnel be employed for cases of intercountry adoptions. Results of a study on Intercountry adoption: implications for adoption agencies and medical advisers by Cherry Harnott and Rosemary Robertson, where the authors use the information gathered to stress the importance of development of a proper structure for adoption agencies where preparation of applicants in issues that are specific to intercountry adoptions becomes a priority. In Support for birth mothers in a group setting, the authors, Francesca Harris and Noel Whyte who are both adoption counsellors describe their experience with counselling birth parents and, in particular what they learned from a discussion group of birth mothers. Christine Gordon describes in A parenting programme for parents of children with disturbed attachment patterns, the Family Futures Consortium's intensive therapeutic programme for parents with children suffering from an inability to attach. |
