However, these findings have been inconsistent and inconclusive, and therefore cannot necessarily be generalised to a country such as South Africa with its diverse populations. This study explored the strengths of adopted children and the difficulties they face, in comparison with children who are raised by their biological parents, with a focus on the Cape Town area.

Abstract:

Foster and adopted children with special needs have high rates of placement instability. 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. Using Bowlby's attachment theory as the theoretical framework, this quantitative study examined the contributions o

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 purpose of the present research program was to investigate IA children's language abilities during school age in order to see whether the difficulties reported in this population at younger ages persist (e.g., Gauthier & Genesee, 2011) or if they decrease with more exposure to the adopted language. Another goal was to investigate if IA children have verbal memory difficulties in addition to their language lags. Note that these studies all compared IA children to non-adopted monolingual French-speaking children matched on age, gender, and socio-economic status.Study 1 evaluated the language

Abstract:

Life story work is a widely used intervention in adoption and fostering. Despite being recommended for use with all children in the care system, the outcomes are underresearched. This review systematically evaluates the scope of the current research into life story work in the looked-after population, investigating the processes used in practice and the benefits and limitations of these approaches. 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

Abstract:

The process of adoption in the U.S. is incredibly hard to navigate as an adoptive parent. Each primary type of adoption (international, foster, private domestic) comes with its own challenges and costs. One of the hardest challenges for both adopted children and adoptive families forming a secure and satisfactory attachment. Examining what goes into a child’s ability to attach to caregiver will help the analysis of the attachment issues that all adoptive families undergo. The adoptive parent must also start to form an attachment to their child as well as help the child transition into their ne

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Families with a transracially adopted child are confronted with normal family crises, crises due to the adoption as well as challenges specific to a transracial family. When this transracial family is a single-parent family, it could be assumed that the challenges the family faces will be even more. Consequently, the need developed to investigate characteristics and family patterns which contribute to family adaptation in crises in the single-parent family where a child from a different race than the parent has been adopted.

Esforços têm sido feitos para difundir uma nova cultura da adoção em que se priorizem as necessidades e os direitos da criança. Entre estes se encontra o de saber sobre sua origem.

Abstract:

Overall attitudes, beliefs, and values have been shown to effect how individuals evaluate and process information. This knowledge is important and relevant to the practice of social work. Social workers are expected to put their attitudes, values, and perceptions aside when working with their clients. Attitudes are effecting processing and evaluation of events, therefore, it is imortant to understand the possible implications of workers perceptions and attitudes. Highly embedded attitudes toward transracial adoption, will influenceSocial workers behavior.
