Riassunto

Written by an adopter for adopters, this is your companion when moving a child from foster care into your family.

It offers practical and emotional support for this happy but often overwhelming time, and advice to take you through the early years of placement with confidence.

There are chapters on:

• Learning about your child
• Neuroception, attachment and developmental trauma
• Matching panel and meetings
• Details to finalise with the placing authority
• Preparing your home
• Making an introductions video and book
• Soft introductions
• Introductions at the foster carer's home
• Meeting birth family members
• What to expect from the authorities once your child moves in
• The first few weeks
• Looking to the future

Included are checklists for each stage and topics such as building timelines, questions for the foster carer, adoption leave, talking to work, the foster carer’s perspective, moving day, contact letters, accessing therapy, life story books, finances, the adoption order, celebration hearings, confabulation, executive functioning, separation anxiety, permanence and constancy.

It’s also a useful reference for social work students and adoption support staff.

Advance readers commented:

Very easy to understand and relate to, with us about to go to matching panel and start introductions, it was a massive help - wish I had read it sooner!

Love the checklists at the end

Very detailed and helpful

Clear, concise and easy to read
