Publisher's Synopsis
Unmet contact needs can prevent children from making lasting new connections, but organising successful contact arrangements with birth relatives and other significant people depends on the level of co-operation between the adults involved. The contributors to this book, all involved in making sustaining or evaluating contact arrangements, here describe and explore many ways of remaining in touch and emphasise the need for flexibility as situations change. In a special chapter, adopted children and young people also share their own experiences and opinions.
