The Placement of Black Children with Permanent New Families

Marilyn Charles, Stephen Parvez Rashid, June Thoburn · Adoption & Fostering

The paper reports an exploratory follow-up in 1991–1992 of minority ethnic children within an earlier survey of permanent placements by major voluntary adoption agencies. The original survey covered 1,165 children with special needs placed in 1980–1984, including 241 Black and other minority ethnic children. The abstract identifies the cohort and research purpose but does not report detailed findings.

Limitations: Historical agency cohort; adoption and other permanent placements must not be conflated. Detailed methods, response rates, regional coverage and outcomes are not supplied by the abstract. Related cohort papers may include overlapping children. Published in BAAF’s journal and studies placements made by voluntary adoption agencies; these relationships do not by themselves establish who commissioned the research.
