Permanent Family Placement for Children of Minority Ethnic Origin

June Thoburn, Liz Norford, Stephen Parvez Rashid · Jessica Kingsley Publishers

This book reports a long-term study of minority ethnic children placed with adoptive or foster families during the 1980s. It examines placement stability, ethnic identity and birth-family contact, and includes accounts from young people and carers. The publisher description establishes the research topics but does not support detailed outcome estimates here.

Limitations: Publisher description and bibliographic information only. Adoption and fostering are combined. Historical placements may differ from current practice. It overlaps with other publications from the same permanent-placement cohort; regional coverage is not detailed in the description.
