Towards Modernising Adoption in Scotland: A Focused Mapping Review

Ottaway, Fowler, McIver, Davidson · CELCIS / University of Strathclyde

A commissioned mapping review of UK and international evidence concerning adoption from care, covering matching, life-story work, birth-family relationships and contact, and adoption support across the life course.

Limitations: A mapping review synthesises existing evidence rather than collecting a new adoptee sample. CELCIS at the University of Strathclyde undertook this mapping review at the Scottish Government’s request. Readers may take that commissioning relationship into account.
