“Facing up to Facebook examines the challenges faced by all parties involved in contact after adoption and looks at how adoptive parents can help children satisfy their need to know about their birth families whilst minimising potential risks to their security and stability. Fully revised and updated to reflect advances in technology and changes to applications and privacy settings, it looks at the pressing questions facing adoptive parents and practitioners, provides a wealth of information and offers valuable advice.

Case studies enable readers to share others’ experiences and reveal the potential and significant risks that some people have experienced and how they have managed these. Facing up to Facebook is essential reading for all those affected by the new reality of adoption in the age of social networking.”
