The experience of adoption-both adopting and being adopted-can stir
up deep emotional pain, often related to loss and early trauma. A
for Adoption provides insight and support to those families and
individuals facing these complex processes and challenges. Drawing
on both a psychoanalytic, theoretical framework and first-hand
accounts of adopters, adoptees, and professionals within the
adoption process, Alison Roy responds to the need for further and
consistent support for adoptive parents and children, to help
inform and understand the reality of their everyday lives. This
book explores both the current and historical context of adoption,
as well as its depiction within literature, before addressing
issues such as conflict in relationships, the impact of significant
trauma and loss, attachment and the importance of early
relationships, and contact with birth families. Uniquely, this book
addresses the experiences of, and provides support for, both
adoptive professionals and families. It focuses on understanding
rather than apportioning blame, and responds to a plea from a
parent who requested "a book to help me understand my child
better".
