▼ The thesis is study of policy practice of domestic and inters country adoption by childcare institution, the case of Adama city administration. Globally, the current trends of adoption practice shows domestic adoption is increasing in developing countries and decreasing in the developed countries. Whereas, inter country adoption is decreasing in developing countries, but increasing in developed countries. However, in the case of Ethiopia in general in Adama in particular, the practice maintained an opposite order. With this insight, this study is devoted to assess the current practices of domestic and inter country adoption, its advantages and disadvantages, analyze the government and NGOs preference among the two alternatives, analyze the existing policy frame works/guidelines and their implementations, and to assess the positions of the cultural childcare practices in the study area Methodologically, the research employed qualitative research paradigm. Primary data were collected by formal interview, observation, case history, document analysis, and focus group discussion, supplemented with secondary sources. Currently there are eight childcare institutions in the city administration under taking alternative child care service. The research reveals that, regardless of its numerous disadvantages, inter-country adoption is currently the most popular trend among other childcare alternative. This is found to be because of four main source; 1) the preference of inter-country adoption by most child care institutions, and 2) lack of awareness by birthparents, adoptive children, and the local people, as well as 3) due to the prevailing economic deficiency. The last but not least, is due in adequate monitoring on the implementation of existing policy and guidelines by concerned government and non-government organizations in the study area. The research findings also show that there are legaldraw backs in which the guide lines contradict one another in some cases, and there is defieciency by concerned bodies in the implementation of these polocies and guidelines. Lastly, the study showed that, though it is full of limitations, modern adoption has managed to significantly undermine the customary practices.

▼ The South African national development plan listed inclusive economic growth as one of the South African government's main priorities. Inclusive growth is vital to eroding the income gap between the rich and the poor. At the time of the study, the South African government was in the process of implementing a national broadband communication network as a vehicle for supporting individual business functions and simulating national economic growth. The Western Cape Government is responsible for implementing the national government agenda in the Western Cape province by supplying a provincial broadband network. However, supply does not necessarily drive demand. Adequately understanding and stimulating demand should increase usage of the government network and, thereby, protect public investment. The purpose and scope of this research was to explore and understand the factors that drive retail behaviour of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within Western Cape lower Living Standards Measure (LSM) communities when deciding to adopt broadband technology. The research used qualitative inductive techniques to identify emerging themes in interview data gathered during the fieldwork process. Emerging themes were either classified as adoption factors, or defined the relationships between adoption factors. The factors and relationships were used to develop a technology adoption model (TAM) that accurately explains user behaviour within the research scope. This TAM extends on the behavioural factors (or constructs) proposed by the original Davis (1989) TAM by incorporating the concepts of 'perceived value' and 'perceived control barrier'. This TAM also defines the external adoption factors (or variables) specific to the research context, and for which usage is mediated by the identified behavioural constructs. Analysis of the external variables identified that users are concerned with social economic constraints (skills and income) in which they operate and the service-delivery expectations (quality of service and mobility) they have from the governmentsupplied broadband. The results indicate that, despite socio-economic constraints, Western Cape lower LSM retail SME communities require adequate service delivery at competitive prices. SMEs may even refuse to use free services if deemed ineffective. Advisors/Committee Members: Ramaboa, Kutlwano.

▼ The Constitution of Kenya through various articles demands that citizen participation is taken into account at all levels of government in coming up with decisions that affect their livelihoods. Further, there is a global push by key international bodies to ensure citizen participation is upheld. This is evidenced by various international ranking such as United Nations E-participation index that measures level of participation as provided by ICT tools otherwise called E-participation. Kenya has been ranked poorly in provision of e-participation despite this a being a constitutional requirement. This research sought to establish and evaluate the status of e-participation tools and initiatives, their reach, use and effectiveness. Further, the research sought to determine the influence of specific technology adoption factors on e-participation i.e. compatibility of tool to user experiences, citizen awareness, complexity of the tool and relative advantage of the tool. The main aim being to develop a set of guiding principles that can be followed by other departments while trying to provide for e-participation. Four government agencies were sampled based on background information on tool availability through judgment sampling. The research instrument used was a structured questionnaire with both open ended and closed questions. Data was collected via focus group discussions and one on interviews. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics in Microsoft Excel and Correlational analysis using SPSS statistical package. The key constructs for the study that informed the hypothesis were compatibility of tool to design vs reality gaps, complexity of the tool, relative advantage of the tool and citizen awareness to existence of tool. These were informed by the technology adoption factors as identified by the literature review on technology adoption models. The research established that despite participation being a legal requirement, less has been done to ensure participation of people using ICT tools despite the rapid growth in technology. None of the samples had achieved the highest level of participation of engaging citizens in decision making. Further with a view to improving e-participation the research established that compatibility of tool to user experiences, citizen awareness and complexity of tool have significant correlation to level of e-participation. The research recommends that government institutions need to scale up efforts to realize e-participation. Careful consideration ought to be given to the research findings in trying to achieve higher levels of e-participation.

▼ The United States has historically been the top receiving country for children adopted from abroad. Since 2004, though, massive changes in sending countries have led to a significant reduction in the supply of adoptable children, and a corresponding decline in transnational adoptions. Not only are there fewer children legally available for transnational adoption, but the types of children available today are markedly different from those that were adopted during the international adoption boom of the 1990s. This shift has created a mismatch between the desires of adoptive parents and the types of children that are most readily available for international adoption. Managing this mismatch becomes particularly challenging without a pricing mechanism—one of the central legitimating factors of adoption is that parents do not pay a price to adopt a child, but instead pay a fee tied to professional services. This dissertation asks: when there is no pricing mechanism to restore the balance between supply and demand, how do organizations and individuals manage parental desire and the shortage of certain types of children? How do the children available for adoption come to be emotionally valuable to the parents who eventually adopt them?To answer these questions, I draw on government reports, in-depth interviews with adoption agency professionals and adoptive parents, participant observation in an adoption agency, and textual analysis of agency promotional materials. I show that perceptions of permanency, racial boundaries, and certainty of placement affect parents’ decisions to pursue transnational adoption over other types of adoption. I then trace the origins of the mismatch between supply and desire to massive changes in policy that constrain the supply of children and the eligibility of certain types of parents. I argue that when confronted with this mismatch, adoption agencies, and the parents they serve, engage in a process of (re)evaluation that recasts previously less desirable types of children as sentimentally valuable. In a transnational adoption economy characterized by shortage, parents must make compromises about the children they are willing to bring into their families, and the shape of these compromises reveals a hierarchy of socially constructed desire. By considering the work of adoption agencies and the experiences of adoptive parents, I show how classificatory schemes, boundary making, morality and emotions operate within this economy. Through the emotional connections that they forge with parents, agency staff carefully frame parental preferences for different types of children, while helping parents feel that their decisions are supported and legitimate.

▼ The suggestion is growing that adoption agencies have been severing ties with adoptive families too quickly following finalization of the adoption. Some social workers believe that the adoption agencies should offer services to adoption families after the adoption has been legally established. The purpose of this thesis is to study the attitudes of adoptive parents toward this suggestion; and to learn what kind of services they would use. For exploratory purposes, fifty adoptive families were selected from the files of the Vancouver Children's Aid Society. The adoptions had been completed between 1953 and 1957. Each child was placed as a small infant. A questionnaire was mailed to each family with an accompanying letter explaining the purpose of the study. The intent was that the adoptive family should show their desire to use post-adoption services, and indicate the specific kinds of services that they might find to be most helpful. A series of post-adoption discussions, offered by the Vancouver Children's Aid Society in cooperation with the University of British Columbia Extension Department, has been the only service available in Vancouver especially for adoptive parents. The analysis of the material obtained from the returned questionnaires indicates that the adoptive families do not desire any additional services in the community which are especially designed for adoptive families. Those families who have made use of available services uniformly report them as most adequate. The families responding indicated that adoption is a very satisfying means of obtaining a family, although also there are special challenges in the roles of adoptive parenthood. Unfortunately, the sample returns were approximately only twenty per cent of the total sample. This may indicate that most adoptive families are not experiencing problems and are therefore not conscious of the need for services. There is the possibility, however, that because the families were not prepared for participation in the study in advance they were reluctant to do so now. Indications are that further research ought to be conducted on some different basis in the area of post-adoption needs and services.

▼ Because of the growing recognition that early, continuous and warm relationships are essential for a child's healthy development, it is important that children be placed in their adoptive home as early as possible and that the home be well chosen. But information about the origins of an adopted child is specially significant in several ways. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the subject of how adoptive parents tell their child he is adopted, and to assess their feelings and attitudes on this topic. For exploratory purposes, seven adoptive homes were selected from the files of the Children's Aid Society of Vancouver for study. The adoptions had been completed from five to nine years ago. Each child had been placed in his adoptive home as an infant under 5 months of age. All adoptive parents were interviewed, also the natural parents' file and adoption home files were studied. The study includes a brief description of the adoptive parents, their home, the child, and his adjustment in the home. The subject of telling the child he is adopted is focussed particularly on (a) method of giving the information; (b) time of introduction of the subject; (c) the child's reaction; and (d) questions asked by the child. The analysis of the material obtained indicates that these adoptive parents accepted as their responsibility telling their child he was adopted. Typically, the simple facts of how he came to live with them were told to the child as soon as he was old enough to understand. However, none of the children in the group studied had asked any questions about their natural parents, and all parents signified that they would wait until their child asked specific questions. This suggests that adoptive parents have difficulties in accepting natural parents, and their main area of concern is how and when to tell their child about them. It is indicated that adoption workers should give more guidance to adoptive parents before and after placement in this area, and that adoptive parents should be encouraged to return to the agency for help if needed.

▼ Of the1117 children in care of the Children's Aid Society at the end of the year 1949, there were 200 between the ages of 6 and 10 years inclusive for whom adoption had not been completed. Of these 200 children, 177 were wards of the Society. Thirty-eight of these wards were on adoption probation, leaving a balance of 139 for whom there was no practical indication of adoption. The purpose of this study was to examine the reasons for non-adoption in this residual group and to attempt an analytical classification. The overall statistical material for the study was obtained as part of a group project, a group of students having cooperated in recording indication data on a card-index schedule for all children aged 6 to 10 in care during the year. The files of non-adoption cases were then read, and a classification was worked out and explemified from this material. Supplementary information was obtained from interviews with staff members of the Children's Aid Society, and the Child Guidance Clinic. The categories of non-adoption utilized are the following: "Adoptability’ Diagnoses, Placement Difficulties, Family Ties and Behavior Problems. "Adoptability" Diagnoses, and Family Ties, are more basic and fundamental as reservations preventing adoption, whereas Placement Difficulties and Behavior Problems are indicative of a more basic reservation and are, therefore, more of a somewhat circumstantial nature. The order of the groups was one of practical convenience in a narrowing of the focus of inquiry from reservations outside the Society to those reservations within the child himself. In order of importance as a reservation - "Adoptability" Diagnoses came first, Behavior Problems second, Placement Difficulties third, and Family ties, fourth. Results from the study show that there is not a good programme for adoption of older children, inspite of the fact that there are a good number of older children available for adoption. Social Workers would like to see older children become adopted but realize that it will take a definite planned programme, with a good deal of publicity that there are older children available for adoption, and extensive home-finding, before any real achievements can be possible. The total problem to be faced in this 139 group, is the focus upon an adoption policy and programme that will first clearly free the older child for adoption, and secondly, find him a suitable adoption home. Specific problems of the older child are the roots of the reservations. The older child is not only confronted with the basic factors determining his "adoptability" rating, but he is generally not easily freed from family ties, nor is he naturally as acceptable for adoption. It will be no easy task to take the reins, set the goals, and plan the course, but real evidence has been given that there is enthusiasm, courage, and interest within the Society to meet the needs of older children, and to plan for their futures, through adoption.

▼ This study concerns itself with the problem of the illegitimate child for whom adoption is requested but who, because of undesirable features in his background, is not considered suitable for adoptive placement. The whole field of adoption is receiving widespread publicity at the present time because of the tremendous demand for adoptable children, and as a result of this demand, the "black market" in babies. Because of this situation, and because of the growing recognition that adoption offers the most security to the unwanted child, it is of great importance that the adoptability of the child should be accurately determined. No child should be denied the advantages of adoptive placement who has the capacity to be absorbed into a family group, and to give satisfaction to those who care for him. The subject was attacked in two ways. First, a survey was made of all unmarried mothers who made any request for adoption to the Vancouver Children's Aid Society in 1941, and of the plans which were, made for the children. Second, a detailed study was made of those children in both Children's Aid Societies who were not considered adoptable and were therefore made wards of the agency and placed in paid boarding homes. The findings of the survey of adoption requests indicate that the concept of non-adoptability influences directly and inevitably the plan which is made for the illegitimate child. There are definite limitations to the assistance the agency can give to the unmarried mother who requests adoption but whose child the agency is hesitant to place. In some instances the mother kept the child despite a strong desire to release it; in others, she placed the child privately. Of the years total-of seventeen children free from any gross birth abnormality, but placed In boarding rather than adoptive-homes because of their background, sixteen have proved capable of complete absorption into a family group. No serious physical, mental or personality aberration is apparent, and the children are evidently able to give pleasure and satisfaction to the parents who care for them. The remaining one has since been institutionalized as mentally defective; this one exception illustrates the need for protective measures. In sixteen cases of successful development, the agency must now decide on the relative merits of (1) replacement in an adoption home, (2) allowing the boarding parents to adopt, and (3) continuing care on an indefinite boarding basis. The legal and social problems inherent in each of these alternatives give rise to the question whether children with unfavourable backgrounds might not, under certain safeguards, be placed for adoption.

▼ This study sought to explore the lived experience of parenting a child adopted from an institution in Eastern Europe. A hermeneutic, phenomenologic method following the Utrecht School was used. The setting for this study was a southern state on the east coast of the United States. The sample consisted of 11 participants, nine mothers and two fathers, self- identified as adoptive parents to children from institutions in Eastern Europe. Semi-structured interviews, with thematic analysis of transcriptions were conducted. Five major themes were identified: choosing-being chosen, weaving the fabric, the importance of doing, remaining mindful, and looking-in, looking out. Conclusions were that parents in this study value the importance of history and the moment in time that they chose to adopt their child, build the family by establishing their identity as mother/father, protectors and authority figures, actively seek out resources and information for their children, possess heightened awareness of their children's need for security and safety, and measure normalcy of their experiences through comparison of adoptive parenting to biologic parenting. Implications for nursing practice include the need for on-going assessment of family health and functioning, as well as coordination of multiple resources, services and support. Implications for nursing education include enhanced content related to assessment and care of the family with internationally adopted children, effects of institutionalization, alcohol-related neuro-developmental disorder and reactive attachment disorder. Given the complex picture of the internationally adopted child and family, an inter-professional educational approach to these topics may be beneficial. Future research recommendations include replication with parents of children adopted from other geographic regions, quality of life studies, self-efficacy of healthcare providers in caring for internationally adopted children, and measures of stress augmented with biologic markers.

▼ Recent sociological literature on family life focuses on the apparently increasing scope for individual choice in forming meaningful, intimate relationships. One important arena for the exercise of such choice is adoption, which is increasingly taking place across national boundaries, taking the form of intercountry adoption. Little attention, however, has been paid to this aspect of contemporary family life by these broader accounts of family change. The research which deals specifically with intercountry adoption focuses on the development and trends of the practice as well as outcome studies, often undertaken in the fields of social work and psychology, and there is little research which investigates the interaction between the general trends in family structure and intercountry adoption. This study responds to these gaps in the literature by examining the experiences of individuals choosing to form families through intercountry adoption in the Australian social policy environment. Documentary evidence was used to understand the development of Australian intercountry adoption and provide the historical and social policy context for the qualitative component of the study. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to develop an understanding of the choice participants made to form their family through intercountry adoption, and to examine how the state manages this area of social policy. My study found that individuals choose to form families through intercountry adoption because children are a crucial means by which they can add meaning to their lives and intimate relationships by providing another human being to love and nurture. This child focus was seen as ‘natural’ and, for some, as an inevitable extension of their relationship. The research also generated findings about the nature of relationships within intercountry adoptive families and the factors which influence how these families are different from biological families. The complex policy environment in Australia creates difficulties for individuals negotiating the system and diversity in legislation and practice among states results in an unclear policy orientation. The movement of children across international boundaries, while not new, has been influenced by a number of global forces including improved transport, enactment of international treaties, media coverage and the introduction of the internet. These advances have resulted in increased knowledge and access to information about intercountry adoption and a more developed understanding of how the process operates in other countries, which impacts on the experience of the process in Australia. The sociological account of family formation involving intercountry adoption in Australia that I have developed in this thesis confirms that relationships of choice are being formed in postmodern society, despite messages from a variety of authorities regarding family life which are often mixed, contradictory and dominated by particular family types, rather than by the concept of choice. My study…

▼ It has been increasingly established in literature that the educational outcomes for adopted children and young people are comparatively low across a range of measures, when compared to non-adopted children (Gore-Langton, 2017). Indeed, the educational outcomes of this group remain a priority at government level, as evident in a range of recent policies (for example pupil premium funding, designated teacher for previously looked after children). Literature highlights that adoptive parents encounter many challenges in their experiences with schools (e.g. a lack of staff understanding of adoption; communication; information sharing; ostracism) often leading to them becoming "battle weary" (Phillips, 2007). However, there is little literature that details the experiences of home-school partnership with adoptive families (Goldberg & Smith, 2014). With Parent-school partnership heavily cited in educational literature as essential to educational success (Hattie, 2008), such research with adoptive families is arguably of importance. The study presented here employs a qualitative, two phase research design. In phase one, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five adoptive parents and five teachers. These interviews sought to elicit the individuals' experiences of partnership, with a particular focus upon (i) how parents related their experiences to Hart's Ladder (1997) model of partnership; and (ii) the factors which influence partnership working (either as barriers or facilitators). In phase two, semi-structured interviews and a card-sort design were used with a sample of five SENCos. This phase explored how SENCos conceptualised the needs of adoptive parents (in comparison with the experiences parents reported in phase one), and how SENCos viewed that partnership practices with adoptive families could be improved. The data was analysed using thematic analysis in order to address the research questions. The findings highlighted that (i) parents were able to relate their partnership experience to Hart's Ladder (1997) model; (ii) a variety of factors influencing partnership were established and there was some commonality between factors identified by parents and those identified by school staff. In phase two, the findings highlighted that (i) whilst SENCos were aware of many factors identified by parents, they tended not to anticipate more affective and perception-based factors; and (ii) that SENCos identified a variety of ways in which partnership could be improved with adoptive parents (through development at a school, broader professional and local authority level). Throughout both phases the overarching themes of a lack of understanding of adoption and a need to broaden the partnership were evident. The findings offer insight and thematic models to understand a sparsely researched area; several implications for EP practice are also highlighted and discussed.
