Rese�a del editor:

This unique research study will be of immense interest to all those working in the area of adoption support, and to adoptive families. It describes the setting up of the first rigorous test in the UK to evaluate particular kinds of adoption support.

The study aimed to discover whether the addition of one-on-one parenting advice sessions made a difference to the families, compared with a comparison group receiving routine support services.

The study reports on the adopters perception of the preparation they received to manage their children s difficulties, the content of the specially designed support programmes, the outcomes of the programmes, and how these affected the children s outcomes.

Packed with interesting insights into what actually works and doesn't work in the field of adoption support, this is a thoughtful and thought-provoking study.
