The authorℓ́ℓs fine-grained interpretative phenomenological analysis of adoptersℓ́ℓ accounts reveals the complexity of kinship for those whose most significant relationships are made, unmade and permanently altered through adoption. MacDonald distinctively connects adoption to wider sociological theories of relatedness and personal life, and focuses on domestic non-kin adoption of children from state care, including compulsory adoption. The book also addresses current child welfare concerns, and suggestions are made for adoption practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in adoption, social work, child welfare, foster care, family and sociology. Mandi MacDonald is Lecturer in social work at Queens University, Belfast, UK. She has extensive social work experience in statutory child welfare services in Northern Ireland, most recently undertaking permanence planning and public adoption for children in care. . 000763069 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 15, 2016). 000763069 650_0 $$aAdoptive parents. 000763069 650_0 $$aParenting. 000763069 830_0 $$aPalgrave pivot. 000763069 852__ $$bebk 000763069 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-57645-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000763069 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:763069$$pGLOBAL_SET 000763069 980__ $$aEBOOK 000763069 980__ $$aBIB 000763069 982__ $$aEbook 000763069 983__ $$aOnline 000763069 994__ $$a92$$bISE
