Why are we waiting? The demography of adoption for children of black, Asian and black mixed parentage in England
A study of adopter recruitment policy and practice examined adoption prospects for children of black, Asian and mixed heritage in England. Researchers described differences in children’s age profiles and needs, and considered how population patterns and adopter expectations could affect matching and waiting.
Limitations: This examines demographic and service patterns, not adoptees’ own identity accounts. The abstract does not quantify the proposed demographic relationships or establish causation. Only the publisher-deposited abstract was reviewed; regional coverage and additional methods are not inferred where unstated.
