The Impact of Adoption on Members of the Triad considers how adoption practice and policy impact those who are the clients of adoption services-adopted individuals, birth parents, prospective adoptive parents, and adoptive parents. It explores the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of adoption for all members of the triad and assesses the extent to which current policy and practice meet the needs of those whom adoption is designed to serve. Questions are raised about the ethical obligations of adoption professionals in light of current understanding of both the positive and negative effects of adoption on adopted children and adults and their birth and adoptive families. This is the third title in a series on adoption and ethics developed by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and designed to provide an overview of the current knowledge base on key adoption policy and practice issues.

In Early Childhood Programs for a New Century, leading authorities in early childhood education synthesize the research base and state of practice of early childhood learning and answer such questions as: -What programs are most effective, and who benefits most from them? -What are the key components of effective programs and services? -What are the implications of the knowledge base for program development, modification, and expansion? -How can the best or most promising practices be disseminated and widely used, especially for children at risk? Part I of this volume covers the child's first five years, including Head Start, child care, and model programs; Part II covers kindergarten and early school-age years, including school readiness, grade retention, and extended interventions; Part III examines broader implications of the knowledge base for program development and policy formulation. Common themes and next-step recommendations are also discussed.
