In the Best Interests of the Child: Loss and Suffering in Adoption Proceedings b

Description: In the Best Interests of the Child by Mili Mass Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Based on her experience as an expert witness in court proceedings on adoption in Israel, and through four representative case studies, Mass examines the view that emphasizes the lifelong loss inflicted on the child by compulsory `closed adoption, contrasting it with the need to `free the child for adoption when parents are assessed as incapable. Publisher Description Marshalling her experience as an expert witness in court proceedings on non-consensual, confidential adoption in Israel, Mass describes legal proceedings following the Israeli state petition that declares children eligible for adoption because of alleged parental incapability, and explores the politics of state intervention in the parent/child relationship. The selected case studies present the testimonies of the children, the parents, the designated adoptive parents, and the states representatives, as well as the authors own testimony. Author Biography Mili Mass is a social worker based in Israel, with an interest in the theoretical, clinical, and legal aspects of child welfare. She has served as an expert witness in non-consensual adoption proceedings, and has held a teaching position at the Paul Baerwald School of Social Work at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
