Adoptive Fathers' Experiences of Search and Reunion
Most research looking at the role of adopters in the adoption, search and reunion process has tended to focus on the experiences of either the adoptive mother or both adoptive parents as a unit. As a result, the role of the adoptive father has had a much lower profile in the literature and research available to practitioners and professionals. Julia Feast, Fiona Kyle and John Triseliotis seek to redress the balance by analysing data from a previo…
Contact between Looked after Children and Their Parents: A Level Playing Field
Contact between looked after children and their parents has assumed in recent years a much higher profile than ever before, as have judgements about its merits. Important decisions regarding the continuation of contact and the granting of care, placement or adoption orders now rely heavily on evidence of its likely benefits to the child. Yet, as John Triseliotis asserts in this article, there is a dearth of empirically-based theory and of agreed …

Long‐term foster care or adoption? The evidence examined
Based on an examination of the research literature, this paper contrasts six variables connected with the outcome of adoption and long‐term fostering. It provides some answers to the question often being asked by policy makers and family placement workers, as well as judges, about the relative merits and limitations of these two forms of substitute parenting for children who cannot return to live with their birth families. Because of the type of …
Intercountry Adoption: Global Trade or Global Gift
In this article, based on a paper given in Oslo, Norway in May 1999, John Triseliotis contends that a significant part of intercountry adoption lacks legal, moral or professional legitimacy. Since the end of World War II it has evolved from being a predominantly humanitarian response to natural calamities and the destruction caused by wars, to becoming a quest for children for those wishing to create a family or expand one. In the process of doin…
Social work supervision of young people
This paper summarizes findings on 50 teenagers supervised by local authority social services (work) departments. Interviews were held with social workers, young people and parents at the start of intervention and about a year later. Pre‐tests and post‐tests were also used to complement other statistical and qualitative data. After identifying the main reasons for the teenagers being on formal or informal supervision, the paper moves on to discuss…
Foster Carers Who Cease to Foster
Is Permanency through Adoption in Decline
The last five years have seen a small but steady drop in the number of children leaving care through adoption. John Triseliotis examines the evidence for this ‘alleged decline’. A number of possible contributing factors are discussed including limitations in resources, recent developments within Social Services Departments, the impact of the Children Act 1989, the challenge of the task, adverse publicity and possibly fewer people coming forward t…
