Supporting Adopters is part of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering's Ten Top Tips series, which aims to offer quick and applicable information to social workers practising in the field of fostering and adoption. The book is concise, but rich with information and considers the support that adopters might benefit from at each stage of their family's life, making it a useful resource for adopters themselves.
I think it is the sensitivity with which the author writes about adoption that is this publication's greatest triumph. The fundamental issues that affect adopters are clearly described in ten sections, yet Kaniuk is sure to emphasise that each family will experience these in various ways. Stories, reflections and vignettes are included in the adopters' own words, and substantiated through references to research, additional reading, and organisations that might provide further insight or practical information.
