- Title
Post-adoption support services: five years' experience of a dedicated medical clinic.
- Authors
Jones, Rosemary
- Abstract
The article focuses on the establishment of post-adoption support services by the Adoption and Fostering Agency for Bath and North East Somerset (BANES) in England. The practicalities of running a post-adoption clinic are discussed. The author concludes that the setting up of a dedicated post-adoption medical clinic has allowed the extra needs of children and their parents to be identified early, and has enabled an enhanced medical and psychology service to be provided at an earlier stage.
