Bøger om adoption

Adopteret

20 børn og unge mellem 9-21 år fra mange forskellige oprindelseslande har skrevet åbenhjertigt om deres liv som adopterede. Om dagliglivets små og store glæder og genvordigheder. Om de særlige vilkår nogle føler, de skal leve med - både på det følelsesmæssige plan og i forhold til en omverden, som måske ikke oplever den adopterede som almindelig dansker.

Nogle gør sig mange tanker og forestillinger om den biologiske familie, mens andre ikke bruger meget energi på den side af livet. Teksterne rummer mange aspekter, lige fra dybt alvorlige tanker om livets store, eksistentielle spørgsmål til dagligdagens små finurligheder beskrevet med lune. Samlet set giver teksterne et godt indblik i, hvilke tanker og følelser, der rører sig i adopterede børn og unge.

Udover at bogen er til andre adopterede børn og unge, er der masser at lære for voksne, det være sig forældre eller mennesker, der arbejder i det daglige med børn og unge.

Styrk barnets tilknytning

Styrk barnets tilknytning er en vejledning for pleje- og adoptivforældre og andre, der tager sig af børn med utrygge tilknytningsrelationer. Bogen kombinerer forældrenes førstehåndserfaringer med professionelles viden og tilbyder en ramme for forældreskabet i form af praksisorienterede redskaber. Formålet er at give forældre og professionelle større forståelse for, hvad der ligger til grund for tilknytningsvanskelighederne, samt hvad der skal til for, at barnet slår rod i familien, får et sikkert livsfundament og udvikler styrke til at frigøre sig fra den sikre familiebase.

Bogen giver en faglig velfunderet og lettilgængelig oversigt over tilknytningsteori og giver desuden nyttuge værktøjer. Fremstillingen levendegøres af fire gennemgående case-historier.

Bogen henvender sig til adoptiv- og plejeforældre, professionelle inden for det sociale, pædagogiske og sundhedsfaglige område, kliniske psykologer samt undervisere og studerende.

Lønmodtageres beskyttelse mod opsigelse ved graviditet, barsel og adoption

Gravide, barslende, adoptanter og deres partnere er særligt beskyttet mod opsigelse i medfør af reglerne i ligebehandlingsloven. Det er ikke forbudt at opsige disse beskyttede personer, men arbejdsgiveren skal kunne bevise, at afskedigelsen intet har at gøre med graviditet, barsel eller adoption.
Denneboger et praktisk værktøj, der giver en detaljeret gennemgang af relevant retspraksis og de mange aspekter af beskyttelsen, som både lønmodtager og arbejdsgiver skal være opmærksomme på.

Det gælder bl.a.:

Opsigelser begrundet i virksomhedens økonomi
Opsigelser begrundet i den ansattes forhold
Opsigelser under graviditetsbetinget sygdom
Væsentlige stillingsændringer
Opsigelser i forbindelse med fertilitetsbehandling og abort
Opsigelser efter barselsorlovens udløb
Opsigelser af mænd
Opsigelser af adoptanter
Bogen giver også mere generelt anvisninger på anvendelsen af ligebehandlingslovens særlige bestemmelser om delt og omvendt bevisbyrde samt om godtgørelsesniveauet.

Målgruppe
Bogen henvender sig primært til advokater, dommere, personalejurister, HR-medarbejdere, konsulenter i fagforeninger og andre rådgivere, der har behov for at vide, om en påtænkt eller allerede gennemført opsigelse af en lønmodtager kan være i strid med ligebehandlingslovens regler, og hvad konsekvenserne i givet fald er.

Adoption

This compilation of the best thinking about adoption by both historical and current authorities reveals a vital, ever-changing practice affecting the lives of millions of people around the globe. Adoption is one of humanity's oldest and most widespread customs - it has been practiced by every culture in the world throughout history. Yet our ideas about adoption remain in constant flux. Should we allow single parents to adopt? What about same-sex couples? Are transracial adoptions successful? Should we seal adoption records? This volume provides the latest answers and the best thinking on these controversies. The ancient practice of adoption has changed significantly through history. In colonial America, parents adopted out their unwanted children - those who were "rude, stubborn, and unruly" - to other families. Today, Americans go abroad looking for children to adopt, and have adopted more than a quarter million internationally. "Adoption: A Reference Handbook, Second Edition" not only traces the development of expert thinking about adoption, but also looks at both sides of the latest controversial issues. Should adoptions be open or closed? Should the government regulate adoptions more closely - or less? This updated second edition offers an international perspective with a new chapter on how countries outside the United States provide adoption services. This work is an indispensable resource for those thinking about adoption or researching its history.

Mit barn – hvor er du? - pdf

Adoption bringer mange tanker og følelser i spil. I bøger, aviser, tv og radio fortæller adopterede ofte deres historie, og de par, der vælger at adoptere, står også ofte frem og indvier omverden i deres overvejelser. Men hvad med den biologiske mor? Hvilke tanker og følelser rører sig i den mor, der må give det liv væk, hun selv har bragt til verden – og hvilke konsekvenser får det for resten af hendes liv? Mit barn – hvor er du? er den første bog i Danmark om adoption, som løfter sløret for, hvad den biologiske mor oplever. Aniella Bonnichsen har som de fleste andre biologiske mødre været knuget af skyld og skam. Det er hun ikke mere, og derfor står hun nu frem og fortæller sin historie. Og Aniella Bonnichsens historie er usædvanlig. Hun har i modsætning til mange andre biologiske mødre ikke sat sig tilbage og håbet og ventet på, at hendes barn en dag ville banke på hendes dør. Hun har selv opsøgt ham – og hun har ikke stillet sig tilfreds med, at hun ingen rettigheder havde. Aniella ønsker at hjælpe andre biologiske mødre til også at få deres værdighed tilbage. Hun kommer hele vejen rundt om adoptionsproblematikken, lægger op til debat og kommer med sit bud på, hvordan vi kan gøre det bedre for alle tre parter i adoptionstrekanten.

Emotional Experience of Adoption, The: A Psychoanalytic Perspective

Adoption is an extremely complex and emotionally demanding process for all those involved. This book explores the emotional experience of adoption from a psychoanalytic perspective, and demonstrates how psychoanalytic understanding and treatment can contribute to thinking about and working with adopted children and their families. Drawing on psychoanalytic, attachment and child development theory, and detailed in-depth clinical case discussion, "The Emotional Experience of Adoption" explores issues such as: the emotional experience of children placed for adoption, and how this both shapes and is shaped by unconscious processes in the child's inner world; how psychoanalytic child psychotherapy can help as a distinctive source of understanding and as a treatment for children who are either in the process of being adopted or already adopted; and, how such understanding can inform planning and decision making amongst professionals and carers."The Emotional Experience of Adoption" explains and accounts for the emotional and psychological complexities involved for child, parents and professionals in adoption. It will be of interest and relevance to anyone involved at a personal level in the adoption process or professionals working in the fields of adoption, social work, child mental health, foster care and family support.

Enterprise SOA Adoption Strategies

Major changes in technology have not been driven by the technologies themselves but by the change in thinking that they enabled. OO design changed software by changing thoughts away from procedures and onto real world "things". This book argues that for SOA to succeed we must move our thoughts away from the implementation technologies and towards the "what" of the business. Using a straight-forward, pictorially driven, methodology the book explains who to discover what the business services really are and how to construct an overall business service architecture. The book covers defining the Business Service Architecture, how to classify services for business value and delivery, understanding the role of IT in supporting the architecture, how project and portfolio management needs to change, how to use a Service Architecture to identify KPIs, and how and when to use Business Process in a service architecture.
