Euillet, S et Zaouche-Gaudro, C,

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. 

Kevin Browne and Shihning Chou,

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. The evidence suggests that, rather than reduce the number of children in institutions, international adoption may contribute to the continuation of this harmful practice. A child rights-based approach to providing alternative care for children separated from their parents is proposed.
