This book explores how children's rights are practised and weighed against birth and adoptive parents' rights and examines how governments and professionals balance rights when it is decided that children cannot return to parental care.
From different socio-political and legal contexts in Europe and the United States, it provides an in-depth analysis of concepts of family, contact, the child's best-interest principle and human rights when children are adopted from care.
Taking an international comparative approach to these issues, this book provides detailed information on adoption processes and shares learning from best practice and research across country boundaries to help improve outcomes for all children in care for whom adoption may be the placement of choice.
Tarja Poesoe is Professor of Social Work at Tampere University. Marit Skivenes is Professor of Political Science, and Director of the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism, at the University of Bergen June Thoburn is Emeritus Professor of Social Work at the University of East Anglia.
