Synopsis

What happens to a child when bonding is disrupted? How can bonding be defined objectively and offered in court in a verifiable and evidentiary way? Here is a manual about how to find the best permanent homes for foster children within one year or less. This is a must book for attorneys, judges, caseworkers, therapists, and foster/adopt parents. Considerable research is provided to show the dire consequences that occur when bonding is ignored. Foster children are significantly more apt to experience incarceration, and to suffer from mental illness and homelessness as adults. To prevent this, a blueprint for action is suggested, from a consideration of the relevant laws and policies, through the gathering of information, to the effective presentation of the case in court.
