Abstract

This article by Jenny Kenrick focuses on the impact of intensive contact with birth parents for the carers of infants placed by concurrent planning. It follows an earlier article focusing on the infants placed (Kenrick, 2009). Among the themes to emerge are the uncertainties intrinsic to the process and how far these affected the development of carers' attachments to the infants they were looking after. The importance of the carers' direct knowledge of the ‘real’ birth parents for helping the children to develop an understanding of their identity is also noted. Finally, an interview with a birth parent whose child returned to her is reported.
