Experts representing practitioners, researchers, advocates, and
triad members, explore the similarities and differences between
adoptees placed as infants and as older children. The book promotes
better integration of theory, practice, policy, and research in
working with clients who are members of the adoption triad:
adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families. For the first time,
the separate practice areas are bridged, pointing out the
significant overlap between the two populations and the similar
interventions that can be used when working with adoptees
regardless of their age at placement.
Developed as a resource text for practitioners, researchers,
students, and adoptive triad members, the first chapter provides an
overview of the clinical and practice issues. Next the work
presents issues surrounding infertility, and explores identity
development with a following chapter on search and reunion issues.
The fifth chapter discusses adoption support, both historically and
with current developments and issues. The work then examines ethics
and offers a model for ethical adoption practice. The final chapter
explores treatment issues from a family systems perspective.
