Contact after Adoption: The Role of Agencies in Making and Supporting Plans
Questionnaire data on 168 recently adopted children and interviews concerning 36 children with face-to-face contact were used to examine how agencies made and supported post-adoption contact plans.
Limitations: Early stage of one longitudinal contact cohort; much evidence concerns adults' accounts of arrangements for children. 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.
