Adoption & Fostering is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal covering research and practice on adoption, foster care and wider child welfare issues. The journal's Commissioning Editor is Roger Bullock, Fellow of the Centre for Social Policy, Social Research Unit, Dartington, UK. It was established in 1977 and is published by Sage Publications on behalf of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF).

Scope

Adoption & Fostering is the only UK journal dedicated to adoption and fostering issues, providing an international forum for a wide range of professionals: academics and practitioners in social work, psychology, law, medicine, education, training and caring for children and young people. As the official journal of BAAF (British Association for Adoption and Fostering), the UK’s leading adoption and fostering charity, the journal supports BAAF’s aims of promoting the highest standards of practice in adoption, fostering and childcare services; it seeks to increase public understanding of the issues and to provide an independent voice for children and families, disseminating new research and practice developments, and informing and influencing policy-makers, all those responsible for children and young people, and public opinion at large.
