Post adoption contact is the level of contact that children who have been adopted from care have with their birth families. The study aims to give the reader an enhanced understanding of adoption and post adoption contact. The objective of the study is to inform future HSE policy development on post adoption contact with birth and extended families for children who have been adopted from long term care. 2010-06-09T23:00:00Z
