Concurrent carers are individuals approved as both foster carers and adopters for children in care. These carers have a child placed with them while reunification with the child’s birth parents is assessed. If reunification proves impossible, the carers can then adopt the child. Little is known about the impact of the concurrent process on the individuals who chose to adopt through this route. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to explore the lived experiences of ten individuals with experiences of adopting through the concurrent care process in Northern Ireland. Three superordinate themes emerged. These are discussed alongside implications for research and practice.

AbstractEvidence shows that adoption is primarily a beneficial measure to ensure relational permanency for children who cannot return to their birth family. At the same time, it is one of the most radical experiences a child will ever have, requiring specialized preparation and support. This process is best supported by competent adoption professionals who understand the fundamental issues of adoption, such as loss, gain, identity, and significant relationships, and who promote the child’s agency and participation throughout the process. This paper provides a critical analysis of Chile’s PRI Program, created in 2008 to support and prepare children in residential and foster care for adoption. First, we present critical considerations and topics about the process of preparing children for adoption. Second, we explore PRI’s main objectives, components, and contributions. Finally, we discuss the challenges of this innovative program and present recommendations for its enhancement.Keywords: Adoptionchild-centered practicesidentitypreparationChile Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThe authors disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and publication of this article.

AbstractThis article reviews the history, cultural features and issues that therapists and researchers need to be aware of in working with and for Indigenous adoptees. It discusses areas to cover in assessment, including awareness of the ubiquity of dissociation in this population, both culturally normal and trauma induced dissociation. Finally, it offers suggestions for interventions drawing from cultural ceremonies, arts/crafts and other traditions, as well as psychotherapeutic interventions based on building a trusting relationship, ego state therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.Keywords: Indigenous/First Nationsadopteeadolescentsyoung adulthood Notes1 The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of four bands. In Alberta, Canada this includes the Kainai (Blood), Siksika (Blackfoot), and Northern Piegan (Piikani); in the United States the Confederacy included the Blackfeet of Montana. Historically, the Blackfoot people were nomadic, living as bison hunters and gatherers on the Great Plains.

This study analyzed psychosocial factors associated with coparenting support among Brazilian adoptive parents. 148 Brazilian adoptive parents aged 20 to 55 years (M = 39.16; SD = 6.89), and primarily heterosexual (87.76%), responded to an online survey. Descriptive, bivariate and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Symptoms of common mental disorders were negatively correlated with coparenting support, whereas marital satisfaction and support networks had positive associations with coparenting support. In a regression model, marital satisfaction and symptoms of common mental disorders contributed significantly to the explanation of coparenting support. Our findings inform those who work to support the adaptation of adoptive families.
