Joining New Families: A Study of Adoption and Fostering in Middle Childhood
This research book examines adoption and permanent fostering in middle childhood. Its bibliographic identity was checked against the authors’ university publication record and a later article from the research programme. The underlying book was not reviewed, so no findings are summarised here.
Limitations: Citation-level record only: the book’s methods and results have not been directly reviewed. It includes fostering as well as adoption and overlaps with later programme publications. It should not be counted as an independent replication of those papers. External peer review of the book was not established.
