Adoption Reunion Handbook launched

Mon, 2 August 2004

Many adopted people today try to find information about their origins and search for birth family members. This "how to" guide for those considering searching for information on their birth relatives will also be of use to birth parents, adoptive parents, adoption charities, social workers, psychologists and counsellors.

Based on a large-scale research study funded by the Nuffield Foundation, the authors Liz Trinder, Julia Feast and David Howe have drawn on the real-life experience of adopted people who have searched for, and had a reunion with, birth relatives. The Adoption Reunion Handbook combines comprehensive and practical step-by-step guidance and advice on key aspects of searching and reunion.

Further information and copies of the book can be obtained from the Wiley website
