This research review clarifies what is known about outcomes for children, adopters and birth relatives, when they have contact after adoption. It can be found in Chapter 14 of 'Children and their Families: Contact, Rights and Welfare' edited by Andrew Bainham, Bridget Lindley, Martin Richards and Liz Trinder.
