Among articles: Searching, reunion and transracial adoption, by Derek Kirton, Julia Feast and David Howe - on the importance of racial or ethnic identity in motivating adult adoptees to search for birth relatives; The rights and wrongs of post-adoption intermediary services for birth relatives, by Liz Trinder - the author presents the arguments for and against the idea of a service that contacts adopted people on behalf of their birth families, whether or not they have themselves been searching; she puts forward the alternative solution of the Adoption Contact Register where both parties have the possibility of registering and making contact this way; Male foster carers: what do we mean by 'role models'?, by Simon Newstone. In the section Research for practice: Perceptions of fatherhood: birth fathers and their adoption experiences, by researcher Gary Clapton - based on interviews with 30 birth fathers whose children were adopted in infancy. |
