Graham Wright is available for private consultation also. I am a social work student in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. I am trying to find information on the role of social workers within the adoption process. I realize these roles vary drastically but some direction would be welcome. BUT as anything else in social work, knowing ALL of your own issues related to your experience is essential.
Most people stumble into adoption work - or get assigned there.
Find some adoption workers to talk with. Share your adoption experience with other social workers, and anyone you chose to work with. Remember that every adoption may be different. Highs and lows, apparent tragedies or calm and happy childhoods. The true test is the outcome for the adopted person as an adult.
