Costs and outcomes of non-infant adoptions

Costs and outcomes of non-infant adoptions

| Julie Selwyn, Wendy Sturgess, David Quinton and Catherine Baxter

This study provides a unique opportunity to compare the outcomes for fostered and adopted children and to make recommendations for policy and practice.
