'Adoption & Fostering' journal

Adoption & Fostering is the only quarterly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to adoption, fostering and kinship issues. Over the years, it has gained an international reputation as one of the world’s leading sources of knowledge for academics, practitioners and all those concerned with childcare practice and research.

Edited by Dr Dennis Golm, Adoption & Fostering is published by SAGE on behalf of the CoramBAAF Adoption & Fostering Academy.

The July edition of our journal is facing unexpected delays due to ongoing technical issues at Sage, our publisher. While their operations have resumed, they are taking a bit longer than usual to release our journal. If you have any questions, please contact us at bookshop@corambaaf.org.uk.
