Achieving Permanency through Adoption: Following in US Footsteps?
Drawing on commissioned international research, this paper compares adoption-system reforms in England and the United States. It examines service delivery, monitoring and accountability, and the early effects of US legislation. The abstract establishes the comparison but does not provide enough detail to summarise specific outcome findings.
Limitations: Abstract only; search and analytic methods are not described there. Historical policy comparison rather than direct adoptee evidence or a causal evaluation. Based on research commissioned by the Cabinet Office for the Prime Minister’s adoption review; published in BAAF’s journal.
