Children’s Participation in the Family Justice System: Translating Principles into Practice
This chapter compares interview research on adoption and parental divorce. Adopted children described uncertainty about courts, isolation during moves and reluctance to disclose adoption at school. The authors analyse how legal participation and communication relate to these accounts.
Limitations: Reanalyses the Adopted Children Speaking sample alongside a separate divorce study; not a new adoption cohort. Small, selected child sample. The adoption component was Department of Health-funded.
