Costs and outcomes of non-infant adoptions
This research followed 130 children in one English area after an adoption recommendation in the 1990s. It examined whether adoption occurred, progress through care, earlier experiences, decisions, delays and service costs. It also collected adopter and foster-carer accounts. The publisher description establishes the scope; detailed findings from the book have not been reviewed for this record.
Limitations: Only the publisher description was reviewed. One historical local cohort, including children who remained in foster care. Parent accounts must not be read as child testimony. Shares participants with related programme papers. Published by BAAF, an adoption-sector organisation; publication is distinct from research conduct.
