Adoption is practiced globally yielding a multidimensional area of
study that cannot be characterized by a single movement or
discipline. This handbook provides a central source of contemporary
scholarship from a variety of disciplines with an international
perspective and uses a multifaceted and interdisciplinary approach
to ground adoption practices and activities in scientific research.
Perspectives of birth/first parents, adoptive parents, and adopted
persons are brought forth through a range of disciplinary and
theoretical lenses. Beginning with background and context of
adoption, including sociocultural and political contexts, the
handbook then addresses the diversity of adoptive families in terms
of family forms, attitudes about adoption, and characteristics of
adopted children. Next, research examining the lived experience of
adoption for birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted
individuals is presented. A variety of outcomes for internationally
and domestically adopted children and adoptive families is then
discussed and the handbook concludes by addressing the development,
training, and implementation of adoption competent clinical
practice. With cutting-edge research from top international
scholars in a diversity of fields, The Routledge Handbook of
Adoption should be considered essential reading for students,
researchers, and practitioners across the fields of social work,
sociology, psychology, medicine, family science, education, and
demography. Interviews with chapter authors can be accessed as
podcasts (https://anchor.fm/emily-helder) or as videos
