Paper Abstract:
Examination of the types of services social workers perform in the adoption process.
Paper Introduction:
Adoption is a process that is difficult for those involved, emotionally wrenching, and legally complex. Often a social worker has a role in this process and serves a number of purposes for the benefit of the woman who is giving up a child, for the welfare of the child, and for the support of the adoptive parents. When a woman makes the difficult decision to give up her baby, the social worker can serve a role as counsellor, nurturer, agent, and facilitator. An examination of certain situations can show the types of service a social worker performs in the adoption process.
Adoption research is a procedure followed in child welfare work. Earlier in this century, there were calls for research to assist in moving toward a scientific basis for child placement. However, the reality that has developed has not fulfilled this hope.
