Contact following placement for adoption: the views of children, adopters and birth relatives
This paper reports experiences of post-adoption contact from members of the adoption network, including children, adoptive parents and birth relatives, and examines how contact arrangements were experienced after placement.
Limitations: The number of children able to contribute directly was smaller than the number of adult participants, so perspectives are not evenly represented. Publication relationship: Adoption & Fostering is published by SAGE on behalf of CoramBAAF (historically BAAF), an adoption-sector organisation. This identifies the publication context, not proof that the organisation conducted or commissioned the study. Readers may take this relationship into account when interpreting the findings.
