Global commercial surrogacy and international adoption
Over the decades, there have been numerous trends in the formation of family for those experiencing infertility. Adoption – initially domestic but now mostly international – has long been a prevailing method, with a dual outcome of also finding homes for parentless children. Those would-be parents with a stronger desire for genetic relatedness have turned to assisted reproductive technologies for the creation of their families. In the 21st centur…
Intercountry adoption of children from Asia in the twenty-first century
This article reviews the trends and developments in intercountry adoption from Asian countries as an example of the transnational movement of children, with profiles of three key states, South Korea, China and Vietnam. The second half of the article looks at current issues in intercountry adoption in the light of discussions at the Hague Special Commission of June 2010, and the article concludes with a consideration of the future of intercountry …
The Global Decline of Intercountry Adoption
This article examines the latest trends in intercountry adoption worldwide, based on data from twenty-three receiving countries. Trends in the number of children sent by states of origin are based on their returns to the Hague Special Commission or on estimates derived from country data provided by the receiving states. The analysis concentrates on the period from 2004 to 2010 when estimated annual global numbers declined from 45,000 to 29,000, f…
Intercountry Adoption after the Haiti Earthquake
In the first two months of 2010, the plight of orphaned children in earthquake-hit Haiti led to calls for intercountry adoption processes to be expedited, but it also raised the question of whether taking children away from their homeland, even in extreme or impoverished conditions, is the right solution, especially at times of crisis. Peter Selman examines, in the context of other examples of the use (or non-use) of adoption as a response to nat…
Intercountry Adoption in Europe 1998–2008
Peter Selman examines the recent history of intercountry adoption in Europe in the context of the enlarged EU, which contains both receiving and sending countries. The article provides a detailed analysis of the movement of children for adoption between European countries and examines the impact of intercountry adoption on the well-being of children in Europe and current debates in the European Parliament on the future of intercountry adoption in…
The rise and fall of intercountry adoption in the 21st century
English Recent developments in intercountry adoption worldwide, based on a demographic analysis of trends in 22 receiving states between 2001 and 2007, are reviewed. The analysis shows a marked decline in the global number of adoptions after a steady rise from the mid-1990s to over 45,000 in 2004. French Les récents développements de l’adoption internationale dans le monde entier, observés à partir de l’analyse des tendances démographiques dans 2…
The Relationship between Institutional Care and the International Adoption of Children in Europe’
Paloma Gay y Blasco, Sheena Macrae, Peter Selman and Huon Wardle 1 challenge the methodology and findings of an article published in the previous edition of Adoption & Fostering (Chou and Browne, 2008). The debate continues with a letter from the USA, followed by Browne and Chou's response

Intercountry adoption in the new millennium; the ``quiet migration'' revisited
Permanency Planning for Children with Down's Syndrome
The recognition that ‘no child is unadoptable’ (Churchill et al, 1979) has been one of the most successful features of special needs adoption. This has led to a growing number of placements involving mentally disabled children (BAAF, 1983). Kathy Mason, Peter Selman and Mike Hughes report on the third stage of a longitudinal study of 12 children with Down's Syndrome placed for adoption by Barnardo's North East (Mason, Hughes and Selman, 1998). Th…
Birth Parents' Experiences of Contested Adoption
In recent years a growing proportion of adoption orders have been made without the consent of the birth mother, yet the needs of these ‘non-relinquishing’ parents have received little attention. Their need for independent support, both before and after adoption, has been recognised but seldom met. Kathy Mason and Peter Selman present findings from research evaluating birth parents' experiences of contesting the adoption of their child(ren) which …

Missed appointments at a family planning clinic
One hundred and fifty-two women who failed to keep appointments for discussion or fitting of an IUD at a hospital clinic have been studied. Home visits were made by a social worker in an attempt to encourage the women to accept a new appointment, or make alternative plans for birth control. At the end of the study, 31 women had been fitted with an IUD, 16 had had a tubal tie, and 46 were successfully using other methods of contraception. The even…
Domiciliary family planning services
When the first Eugenics Society Symposium (Meade & Parkes, 1965) was held in 1964, its final session, on ‘Aspects of Fertility Control’, included two papers (Peberdy, 1965; Morgan, 1965) describing experimental family planning services, which offered advice and treatment in their own homes to the ‘problem parents’ of large families in the lower working class. These two projects, established from 1959 onwards in Newcastle and Southampton, together…
