Voices from the Silent Cradles

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The strength of this book is that it is much more than a collection of personal histories. The reader is not only presented with deeply moving accounts of the good and the bad, but also discussion about the factors affecting young people's life chances, along with lessons for current policy and practice." Adoption & Fostering "Powerful and emotionally rich... the book should be of interest to social workers, students of the humanities, historians and human rights professionals." The British Journal of Social Work "The rich detail Neagu presents of institutional and foster care and domestic and intercountry adoption, highlighting the importance of personal relationships and identity, provides a compelling basis for evaluating those systems." John Eekelaar, Pembroke College, Oxford "This book demonstrates powerfully how badly wrong things can go when children's rights are ignored, and the importance of including children's views and experiences in planning policies for them." Virginia Morrow, University College London "With powerful stories from her own Romania, Mariela Neagu highlights how quality rather than type of care matters most in achieving the best for children living apart from their families." Robert Gilligan, Trinity College Dublin
