This study reports on an evaluation of post-adoption services done in B.C., looking at the needs of adoptive families and the effectiveness of post-adoption services. Adoptive parents indicated their concerns about adoption, the types of post-adoption services that they needed, their sources of support, and the importance of various kinds of support services. The report recommends ways in which post-adoption services can be developed to have an increased positive impact on the lives of adoptive families.
