With the new federal mandate to double, by the year 2002, the
number of children in foster care who are to be adopted or placed
in permanent legal guardianships, it is essential for adoption
agency staff and prospective families to learn which factors
contribute to successful and unsuccessful placements. Dr. Ruth
McRoy's informative guide, Special Needs Adoptions: Practice Issues
outlines what formulates a successful match between adoptable
children with special needs and their prospective parents, and how
the current placements can be improved.
Dr. McRoy recognizes the challenges of building families through
adoptions and offers specific training suggestions for special
needs adoptive families and agency workers in order to improve
adoption outcomes for children. The book is based on a research
project designed to identify special needs adoptions practice
issues that contributed to intact, disruptive and dissolved
adoptions by collecting data from adoption supervisors,
post-adoption service providers, and actual case records of
adoption placements. Based on the findings, the characteristics of
children needing adoptive placement are described, practice issues
such as matching children and parents are addressed, and transition
planning is discussed. Further, controversial placement issues
including foster parent adoptions, single parent adoptions, sibling
placement and transracial adoptions are dealt with.
Special Needs Adoptions is a rich, resourceful guide for all of the
parties involved in a special need adoption: state and private
adoption agency staff, post-adoption service providers, child
welfare policy makers and researchers. Special Needs Adoptions is
also a wonderfulresource for adoptive parents or prospective
parents considering special needs adoptions.
