Finding Families for Children - Not Children for Families:
Social Workers and Adoption
By Shelley Steenrod, Ph.D., LICSW
Through the use of strengths and
empowerment perspectives, social workers are in a
unique position to support all members of the
adoption triad (see Figure 1) including birth parents,
child and adoptive parents.
Many case studies illustrate the three primary
types of adoption—domestic infant adoption,
international adoption, and adoption from foster care.
Domestic infant adoption occurs when a pregnant
woman seeks help from an adoption agency to select
a “forever” family for her child and when a couple
who wants to adopt seeks help in finding a baby.
International or inter-country adoption is facilitated
by agencies with programs in host countries. In
international adoption, children have generally been
relinquished by their families of origin as a result of death, disease, or extreme
poverty. Foster to adopt programs can be delivered by public child protection
agencies, which often have children in their care as a result of neglect or abuse.
Whether public or private, domestic or international, adoption agencies hire social
workers to conduct home studies, provide pre-adoption education, match children
with families, and offer post-adoption support. A brief description of each service is
described below.

Home Study is the process by which a social worker decides the suitability of an
individual or couple to adopt. It is a comprehensive evaluation of each potential
adoptive parent’s emotional and physical health, experience or ability to
parent, finances, home environment, and general ability to provide a safe,
consistent, and nurturing family for a child. A home study generally involves
meeting with and interviewing the individual or couple over several sessions.
The social worker asks specific questions such as: “Why adopt?”, “What is your
parenting philosophy?”, “How do you resolve conflicts?” among others.
Ultimately, the social worker writes a formal home study document that is
submitted to domestic and international courts and governments as
appropriate.
Pre-Adoption Education, in order to provide a clear and real picture to preadoptive parents with romantic notions of what parenting is like, prepares
families for both the realities of first-time parenting and the challenges of
parenting children from hard beginnings. Some examples of workshops and
trainings that social workers facilitate in this domain include topics such as:
grief and loss, attachment, the effects of institutionalization, cross cultural
issues, transracial parenting, and open adoption.
Matching Children with Families is the service related with finding the best
family for children, not the best child for families. As such, they rarely make
child placement decisions in a vacuum. Most agencies have committees that
meet regularly to consider the mutual needs of children and families and to
make matching decisions together. In these profound decisions, social workers
can utilize their hard-earned knowledge on child development, human
behavior, child and family welfare, research, cultural diversity, and values and
ethics.
Post-Adoption Support is therefore required after adoption and social workers
become an important part of the triad. Individuals and couples who adopt are
not only faced with the same challenges of first time parents; they may also be
faced with special issues—especially when adopting internationally or from
foster care. Children from hard beginnings may bring with them a host of
medical, neurological, emotional, and behavioral problems and require extra
support and specialized parenting and educational strategies.
