Abstract:

This thesis is in the form of a novel titled 'High Spirits' and an exegesis, 'Behind Dry Ink in Set Patterns'. The novel traces the life of an Australian girl from birth to her mid-teens. Rose Sommers is adopted by a couple who have returned from prisoner-of-war camps in Singapore after World War II. Set in the early 1960s, the narrative starts with Rose at thirteen running away from the family farm to Perth. The novel has six flashbacks in the first third to tell the story of how the parents adopted and treated her: her adoptive mother was unbalanced and her adoptive father was a weak man. Wh

Desde 1998, 45.696 menores procedentes de adopción internacional han llegado a España. Las investigaciones sobre la adaptación psicológica de estos niños y niñas indican que, a pesar de que la mayoría presentan un ajuste psicosocial adecuado, son más propensos a experimentar dificultades emocionales, conductuales y en habilidades sociales. La investigación en los puntos fuertes personales y el papel que los recursos personales y sociales desempeñan en el desarrollo evolutivo, es un área de investigación reciente en resiliencia.

Abstract:

The aim of my study was to shed some light on the processes of how transracially adopted (TRA) children construct their ethnic and racial identities and to examine these identities in relation to their experiences outside of the home, mainly within the school context. Twelve TRA children, aged 8-12 years old, and their families participated in this study. It is a qualitative, grounded theory project, in which data was collected via in-depth interviews, observations and creative activities (drawings, photographs and games). The adoptees distinguish between their racial and ethnic identities as

Family functioning has been an important part of adolescent self-image formation, according to many family therapy theorists. The aspects of family functioning that are the most positive in influencing self-image formation have not been specifically diagnosed, particularly as they apply to adoptive and foster families. The present research tied together family adaptability, cohesion, and communication from the Circumplex Model with self-image and analyzed the effect these aspects of family functioning had on a subjective measure of self-image as reported by the adolescent.

Abstract:

Adoption is an important family structure in The United States. In 2013, more than 1.7 million children were adopted including domestic, International, and foster care adoptions in the U.S. I examine the perceived and received support from grandparents to adoptive families and the impact it has on the families' lives. Qualitative methods in the form of semi-structured open-ended interviews were used to conduct 28 interviews with adoptive parents. My findings reveal that maternal grandmothers were more likely to be supportive and involved in adoptive families compared to other grandparents.

Abstract:

Evidence of the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969) suggest that children who have been adopted from care are at higher risk of difficulties that may impact their ability to access education. In the UK, despite recent improvements, much of the support available to Looked After Children (LAC) is no longer available once children have been adopted. This research therefore sought to investigate teachers� perceptions on whether adopted children have difficulty accessing education, their understanding of the possible impact of ACEs and whether compari

The findings of this review suggest that life story books are a predominant tool within the process of life story work alongside direct work with social care professionals, foster carers and adoptiv

This has been associated with their increased risk of having special needs, particularly reactive attachment disorder which results from severe disruptions in early relationships. Child welfare agencies report inadequate knowledge of specific placement predictors and assessment measures, although research has shown that placement duration is partly a function of successful parent-child match.
