How to Screen Adoptive and Foster Parents: A Workbook for Professionals and Students
Social workers and other professions dealing with the placement of children in foster and adoptive care have an enormous responsibility as their decisions and recommendations have lifelong consequences on both the children concerned as well as for the families in which the children are placed.Although written in the context of the USA child care and protection system, the book has much to offer professional social workers working in other countries who are involved in assessing families for the placement and care of children. --Joan van Niekerk, Manager, Training and Advocacy, Childline South Africa
