Adoption Law: A Practical Guide
The Adoption and Children Act 2002, which sets out the statutory framework, contains 115 sections and 5 schedules. These provisions are supported by secondary legislation, international conventions, rules, guidance, practice notes and case law that has developed since the Act came into force. The paramount consideration in every decision relating to the adoption of a child is the child’s welfare throughout their life. In doing so the decision maker also has to consider and balance the competing rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights of all parties in the adoption process and also the child’s rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Adoption Law: A Practical Guide seeks to provide a comprehensive guide to the law, practice and procedure for professionals as well as those who are concerned with or involved in the adoption process. It covers each stage of the adoption process, including the difficult issue of contact between the child and their birth parents and the alternative options available by reference to the relevant case law and regulations in relation to domestic adoptions as well as adoptions with a foreign element. Registration of adoption and the sensitive issue of disclosure of information are also considered. The book deals with the statutory obligations and responsibilities imposed on adoption agencies, support services and other professional bodies who are concerned with adoption towards all the parties, including the child who is the subject of the proceedings. It also outlines the rights of those parties to challenge decisions made by the professional bodies involved in the process.Read more

An Unexpected Gift (Amish Adoption Series Book 2)
EMT Jenna Zimmerman is happily married to handsome Eli but she feels crushed after having two miscarriages, especially since her birth mother has gotten pregnant after having cancer. But living with Eli’s parents, specifically his mother, makes Jenna’s life stressful, which is most likely contributing to her inability to carry a baby to term.When Jenna gets called to a severe buggy accident, she helps to transport an Amish teenager, Isabella, and her fiancé, Justin, to the hospital. Isabella is a few weeks pregnant, and they’ve managed to keep the secret to themselves while waiting to get married in a couple of weeks. When Justin dies from his injuries, Isabella tells Jenna her strict parents will kick her out of the house once they inevitably discover her pregnancy.
Isabella is part of the conservative Swartzentruber Amish community where strict laws abide. And there’s no way her parents will allow her to keep the baby. So she asks Jenna and Eli to adopt her child. But Isabella’s parents are furious when they learn of their daughter’s pregnancy and the potential adoption. They won’t allow their grandchild to be adopted by parents that belong to the Old Order Amish, a more liberal sect. They demand that Isabella’s child, even if it will not be in their home, be raised under the tenets of the Swartzentruber community.
Jenna fears her dreams of having a child with her husband may be out of her reach once again. As much as she trusts God is faithful in all things, she doesn’t understand why she can’t have a child. And if she can’t adopt Isabella’s baby, and she can’t get pregnant on her own, she’ll never be a mother. Jenna strives to accept what might never be while still clinging to hope.

Navigating Foster Care and Adoption: A Comprehensive Guide to Fostering & Adopting Children: From Screening… to Placement… to Overcoming Obstacles and Building Loving Families
The requirements of the child being fostered as well as the life situation of the foster parent can both have a significant impact on the type of foster care that can be provided. Some children remain in foster care for only a few days or weeks at a time, whilst others may remain there for several months or even years at a time. Foster parents have the option of taking care of only one kid at a time, as well as taking care of numerous children at once, including siblings.Adoption may offer children who need a loving home with stability, security, and a feeling of belonging in their new family. Adopted children sometimes come from tough situations, such as households in which they were abused or neglected, and consequently, they may have suffered trauma or struggle with emotional challenges. These children may be given the love and support, as well as the secure and caring home environment that they need in order to recover and grow when they are adopted by loving families.
My desire to write an eBook about fostering and adoption is driven by a desire to share my experience and insights with others who may be considering fostering or adopting. My story can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for others, providing practical advice and emotional support for those embarking on this challenging journey.

Facilitating Meaningful Contact in Adoption and Fostering: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Planning, Assessing and Good Practice
Most children who are fostered or adopted have some level of contact with their birth family — whether face-to-face or by letter — yet most of the time the psychological impact of contact on the child isn’t considered.
This book explores what attachment, neuroscience and trauma tell us about how contact affects children, and shows how poorly executed contact can be unhelpful or even harmful to the child. Assessment frameworks are provided which take the child’s developmental needs into account. The authors also outline a model for managing and planning contact to make it more purposeful and increase its potential for therapeutic benefit. The book covers the challenges presented by the internet for managing contact, unique issues for children in kinship care, problems that arise when adoptive parents separate and many other key issues for practice.
Brimming with practical advice and creative solutions, this is an indispensable tool for social workers, contact centre workers, and other professionals involved in contact arrangements or the therapeutic support of fostered and adopted children.

Pathways to Permanence for Black, Asian and Mixed Ethnicity Children (B a for Adoption Fostering)
In the UK, social workers are required by law to consider a child’s ethnicity, along with other significant factors, when planning for and placing children in permanent placements. In practice, decisions are often made difficult by the complexity of children s heritages.Little research attention has been paid to how social workers understand and respond to ethnic differences, and local authorities have only been required to record the ethnicity of children in their care since 2001. This has revealed that minority ethnic children are less likely to be placed for adoption, and questions have been raised about whether this is because they receive a different social work service to white children, or that the emphasis on same-race matched placements restricts choice, or that there is a lack of suitable adopters.
This pioneering study explores the care pathways of minority ethnic children in three authorities in England, and considers possible differences in decision making and outcomes for them, in comparison with white children, especially in relation to permanence. It raises key questions about our understanding of ethnicity and culture and how these are reflected in social work practice, especially with regard to making permanent placements for minority ethnic children.
This book will be of considerable interest to anyone involved in adoption, from practitioners and managers to policy makers.

Before and After: The incredible and heartbreaking true stories of victims of a notorious adoption scandal
‘Captivating and emotional’ 5* reader review
‘A riveting and heart wrenching read’ 5* reader review
From the 1920s to 1950, Georgia Tann ran a corrupt baby business at the Tennessee Children’s Home Society in Memphis. She offered up more than 5,000 orphans tailored to the wish lists of eager parents – hiding the fact that many weren’t orphans at all, but stolen sons and daughters of poor families, desperate single mothers, and women told in maternity wards that their babies had died.
In Before and After, many survivors set out to trace their roots and find their birth families. Before and AFter includes moving and shocking accounts of the ways in which adoptees were separated from their first families. Often raised as only children, many have joyfully reunited with siblings in the final decades of their lives. There are stories of first meetings that are all the sweeter and more intense for time missed, and of families from very different social backgrounds reaching out to embrace brothers, sisters, and cousins.

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches (Updated and Expanded Edition)
The doctrine of adoption―God’s decision to adopt sinful men and women into his family―stands at the heart of Christianity. In light of this, Christians’ efforts to adopt beautifully illustrate the truth of the gospel. In this popular-level and practical manifesto, Russell Moore encourages Christians to adopt children and to help other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who have struggled to have children. Rather, it’s about an entire culture within evangelicalism―a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.

Adopting a child is a highly emotional experience that is characterized by a deep desire by a couple to become parents. It is important to consider that the child they desire to adopt has gone through abandonment trauma. Trauma can have a devastating effect as well as a significant impact on the development, behavior, relationships, and emotional regulation of a person. This book ventures into the world of adoption, through scientific research surrounding trauma, emphasizing the various stages that characterize the life experiences of both the adopted child and the adoptive parents. It can be compared to a trip on a plane. The point of departure is represented by the ideation of the project of adoption by a couple and the stopovers are experienced in the various crucial moments of the journey. Bureaucracy and its emotional impact, the first meeting with the child, the initial adaptations, attachment, ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), integration in the school context, represent some of the topics addressed in this book. Every stopover offers the reader an opportunity to delve into the experiences and testimonies of people who have lived through specific moments, accompanied by a scientific study and understanding. We hope that the arrival/landing will offer rich and varied discoveries and captivating reflections.Read more

Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece: Kid pro quo?
This book presents a committed quest to unravel and document the postwar adoption networks that placed more than 3,000 Greek children in the United States, in a movement accelerated by the aftermath of the Greek Civil War and by the new conditions of the global Cold War. Greek-to-American adoptions and, regrettably, also their transactions and transgressions, provided the blueprint for the first large-scale international adoptions, well before these became a mass phenomenon typically associated with Asian children. The story of these Greek postwar and Cold War adoptions, whose procedures ranged from legal to highly irregular, has never been told or analyzed before. Adoption, Memory, and Cold War Greece answers the important questions: How did these adoptions from Greece happen? Was there any money involved? Humanitarian rescue or kid pro quo? Or both? With sympathy and perseverance, Gonda Van Steen has filled a decades-long gap in our understanding, and provided essential information to the hundreds of adoptees and their descendants whose lives are still affected today.Read more

That Picture of You: A dramatic real-life story of adoption and reunion
Few adoption memoirs can be as moving as this! That Picture Of You tells the story of Susan finding herself pregnant at the age of fifteen, and sent two hundred miles away to give birth in secret. When her baby is forcibly taken for adoption after just eight days, Susan grows to womanhood with no idea if her daughter is even. When she goes on tragically to suffer a miscarriage, a hospital counsellor encourages the playwright to set her grief out on the page. Half A Million Women is the result. But when the play is by pure coincidence performed on her long-lost daughter’s twenty-first birthday, no-one could possibly have imagined the real-life drama about to unfold off-stage. The remarkable real-life story made national headlines. That will come as no surprise when you read the dramatic events of the heart-wrenching reunion of mother and daughter. A truly dramatic story capturing spirit of time and place, this deeply moving and warmly funny book is ultimately, above all, joyful.Read more

Adoption Survival Guide: A Devotional Activity Journal
When the journey of adoption is discussed, often it can be related to giving birth. Every situation is different and every child is different. There are still elements that are the same, however, and when your adoption is harder than others, it can be a very lonely place to be. Most people want to hear about the beautiful stories and positive effects of adoption. Few are willing to see that there are hurting families in need of help. Finding a community that understands this is invaluable.
As people of faith, we are called to “look after the widows and the orphans.” Oftentimes we do this at great sacrifice to our families, friendships and sometimes to our own faith. This activity journal was created to give a small outlet in the midst of a survival-mode parenting journey. In trying to help put children back together from the pains of trauma, we forget that we are created by the great Creator and this is a form of communication with Him.
Included in the Devotional Activity Journal are:
- 32 Devotional entries
- 64 Journal pages
- 32 Doodle pages
- 33 Bible verse coloring pages
- 32 Recipe suggestions
- 32 Wordfinds
When we have nothing left to say, we can create, breathe and find ourselves again.

Lesbian and Gay Foster Care and Adoption, Second Edition
Featuring a spectrum of families from diverse backgrounds, this book reveals the joys and challenges of adoptive and foster parenting.
The authors outline how the experience of adopting and fostering has changed for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people over the years, major changes in policy, and what the research can tell us about LGBT parenting. They interview families involved at different stages of the fostering and adoption process, from those undergoing assessments through to the experienced foster carers and adopters who were interviewed for the first edition of this book 20 years previously. While the number of LGBT people adopting or fostering has increased since then, some of the very real challenges still endure – including social stigma, homophobia and discriminatory policies – and families share some of the strategies they have used to help to address them.
This is an essential source of information and advice for same-sex couples and LGBT single parents, as well as social workers, social work educators, sociologists of personal life, fostering and adoption panel members.

You’ll Forget This Ever Happened: Secrets, Shame, and Adoption in the 1960s
Mississippi, 1967. It’s the Summer of Love, yet unwed mothers’ maternity homes are flourishing, secret closed adoptions are routine, and many young women still have no voice.In You’ll Forget This Ever Happened, Laura Engel takes us back to the Deep South during the turbulent 1960s to explore the oppression of young women who have committed the socially unacceptable crime of becoming pregnant without a ring on their finger. After being forced to give up her newborn son for adoption, Engel lives inside a fortress of silent shame for fifty years—but when her secret son finds her and her safe world is cracked open, those walls crumble.
Are you still a mother even if you have not raised your child? Can the mother/child bond survive years of separation? How deep is the damage caused by buried family secrets and shame? Engel asks herself these and many other questions as she becomes acquainted with the son she never knew, and seeks the acceptance and forgiveness she has long denied herself. Full of both aching sadness and soaring joy, You’ll Forget This Ever Happened is a shocking exposé of a shameful part of our country’s recent past—and a poignant tale of a mother’s enduring love.
