Attachment Handbook for Foster Care and Adoption
Attachment is at the heart of family life and adoption. Schifield and Beek trace the pathways of secure and insecure patterns of attachment from birth to adulthood, exploring the impact of past experiences of abuse, neglect and separation on children's behaviour in foster and adoptive families. They explain from an attachment perspective the dimensions of parenting that are associated with helping children to feel more secure and fulfil their potential in the family - with peers, at school and in the community.
Parenting A Child With Difficulties In Learning Caused By Trauma
Children who are looked after or adopted may experience varieties of learning difficulties that are caused by the trauma and disruptive relationships that marked their early lives. This book provides authoritative, clinical guidance for carers and adopters on why these learning difficulties can occur and what can be done about them. In straightforward language, it explains how children's difficult early experiences can affect their learning; the importance of play to being able to learn; how to understand what the child is experiencing and why, and how carers and parents can help.

Promoting the Health of Children in Public Care
For many years, health services have struggled to meet the needs of looked after and adopted children. The majority enter care due to neglect and abuse, with the consequent effects of these experiences on their health and well-being, exacerbated by the effects of separation from their birth family and subsequent placement moves. This much needed anthology is an essential guide to good practice in the field of the health promotion of looked after and adopted children.
Looking After Our Own
For many Africans, Asians and Caribbeans, extended family has traditionally been a part of the norm. Most black adoptive parents state that some form of adoption or fostering was a tradition in their communities so the experience of fitting into a new family mean that the concept of adoption is not alien to them. What is difficult or off-putting for many is getting through the assessment process and dealing with the intrusive investigations involved. This volume is designed to demystify the process and show that potential adopters can choose an agency that suits them.
