Explores causal relationship between increased international adoption and increase in institutional care of children in Europe.

Cet article vise à analyser le point de vue des parents dont un enfant est accueilli en famille d’accueil au titre de l’ASE, sur des questions relatives à leur identité parentale et à leur relation avec les professionnels. 

The study reported by Shihning Chou and Kevin Browne explored the link between institutional care for young children and international adoption, using a survey of 33 European countries.

A child rights-based approach to providing alternative care for children separated from their parents is proposed.
