Google Preview: Written for professionals working with birth parents whose children have been adopted,this book aims to increase understanding of the needs of birth parents and to identify theforms of support that really work.With contributions from birth parents and professionals in the field, this book articulatesthe huge emotional challenges and pain faced by birth parents. Grounded in theirexperiences and drawing on the latest research, it outlines good practice forprofessionals, and puts forward a range of models for intervention, from verystraightforward practical support through to therapeutic interventions.Practical and compassionate, this book provides a deep understanding of birth parentsand their support needs which will inform not only individual practice, but also encouragesthe development of more humane and effective support services.; Adoption has changed, is changing and will continue to change. 'Supporting Birth Parents whose Children have been Adopted' really puts emphasis on adoption being a life long experience. It helpfully opens your mind to how it can be improved and done differently, and how working with birth families in a meaningful way can lead to a positive change. In an ideal world we would have no need for adoption, but we do not live in an ideal world, so we must concentrate on joining up the corners and multiple layers for everyone affected by adoption. This book provides a number of strategies to achieve that and should be referenced to all adults (including those thinking about adopting or working in adoption), so that we understand that one size can not and will not fit all.; Google Preview content
