What is Adoption and Prenatal Alcohol and Drug Exposure: Research, Policy, and Practice about?

<p>As professionals become more aware of the impact of prenatal substance exposure on children who are being adopted, there is a heightened need for understanding a range of issues connected with prenatal alcohol and drug exposure. This book addresses many of these issues, providing important information on the impact of prenatal substance exposure on children s immediate health and well-being; the longer-term implications for children s health and development; the roll that a positive postnatal environment can play in remediating the effects of prenatal substance exposure; how prospective adoptive parents can be counseled regarding the effects of prenatal substance exposure so that they can make an informed decision about adopting; and the ongoing services and supports that are needed for adoptive families and their substance-exposed children to maximize positive outcomes. This book was developed with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It is designed to serve as a key resource for practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and others with an interest in, and a commitment to, adoption for substance-exposed children.</p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>Presents papers from an O
