ABSTRACT

In England the macro context of adoption practice is characterised by radical change across administrative, political and organisational systems. The adoption regionalisation programme is underpinned by a policy commitment to speed up ‘matching’ processes. The Adoption and Children (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 states that adoptions should ‘proceed swiftly’ and some agencies are pioneering online and virtual introductions between children and prospective adopters. This paper offers a timely contribution to practice debates and scholarship in this area. Drawing on a collaborative doctoral study, ‘everyday’ practices are considered through an emergent theoretical framework, the ‘liminal hotspot’. The analysis hones in on the transformative practices generated in the early matching stages and the role of the social worker in their mediation and management. This paper supports findings from other studies that suggest that when matches are rushed necessary processing of complex dynamics is by-passed, creating unnecessary vulnerabilities in the fabric of new families.

遇到阈限: - 建立收养家庭的变革性做法

摘要

在英格兰,收养实践的宏观背景的特点是行政、政治和组织系统发生了根本性的变化。采用区域化计划的基础是加快“匹配”过程的政策承诺。2020 年收养和儿童(冠状病毒)(修订)条例规定,收养应“迅速进行”,一些机构正在率先在儿童和潜在收养者之间进行在线和虚拟介绍。本文为该领域的实践辩论和学术提供了及时的贡献。在合作博士研究的基础上,通过新兴的理论框架“阈限热点”来考虑“日常”实践。分析着重于早期匹配阶段产生的变革性实践以及社会工作者在其调解和管理中的作用。本文支持其他研究的结果,这些研究结果表明,当比赛匆忙进行时,复杂动态的必要处理会被绕过,从而在新家庭的结构中产生不必要的漏洞。
