“Working With Adoptive Families Beyond Placement is the first book ever written to provide a post placement model for practitioners to help the adoptive family deal effectively with the constantly emerging feelings of each of the family members. Here, at last, is recognition that the adoptive family’s needs must continue to be addressed after the home study process, through the placement experience, and beyond legal adoption.
Changing views of adoption have led adoption agencies to offer more extensive and longer terms of service to the adoptive family. Beyond Placement serves as a model for providing service to the entire adoptive family throughout the development phases of the adopted child’s growing up.”
