Abstract: Introduction In Quebec, Canada, open adoption is seldom used. Since 2018, children adopted from care can legally obtain information about their birth family on their own at age 14 (prior to 2018, youth aged 14-17 needed their adoptive parent’s consent). Adoptive parents and child welfare workers are concerned that these youth might be ex...

Family relationships are a distinctive feature of kinship-care placements, but very few studies have examined how the dynamics of these relationships affect the placement experience. This article does explore these dynamics and identifies some possible patterns, as experienced and reported by parents of children placed in kinship care. The findings...

Ces pivots structurent la pratique des acteurs et leur discours. Ils permettent la légitimation des actions, des positio...

Background When a child needs to be placed in substitute care by child protection services, social workers are encouraged to use kinship care (KC), mainly because of the greater stability associated with it. However, current state of knowledge on reunification and placement stability is essentially based on studies that combined children in KC and...
Article
Children in foster care are more likely to exhibit emotional, behavioral, social, and developmental problems. Accordingly, foster families should provide them with a safe family environment that promotes their development. Therefore, to ensure that foster families adequately meet children's needs, it is crucial for youth protection services to prop...
Article
Background: In youth protection, the supervision of visits between children and their parent(s) with whom they no longer live is a complex clinical practice. The "For Caring Supervised Visitation in Child Welfare" training was designed to equip workers on the subject. The training was developed in Quebec (Canada), based on a co-construction approa...
Article
Background In the Canadian province of Quebec, placing children in foster care is an exceptional measure whose ultimate goal is family reunification. When child-protection workers decide that reunification is unlikely, they must design permanency plans that ensure continuity of care and stable relationships for the child. Most studies of this impor...
Article
Au moment de statuer sur le placement d’un enfant, les services de protection de l’enfance doivent également se prononcer sur le milieu d’accueil le plus adéquat pour celui-ci. Pour les enfants de moins de cinq ans, les milieux de type familial, tels que la famille d’accueil régulière, de proximité, et à vocation adoptive, sont généralement privilé...
Article
Au Québec, depuis 2009, les parents d’accueil œuvrant en protection de la jeunesse ont un statut de travailleur, sont représentés par un syndicat et leur rôle est encadré par un mécanisme de contrôle de la qualité des services. Dans ce contexte, certains d’entre eux vivent des tensions semblables à ce qu’expérimentent les parents d’accueil dans d’a...
Article
Placement in a foster family by child welfare services is a crucial decision in the trajectory of a child. Nevertheless, the strategies and procedures underlying the decision to remove a child from his/her family for placement in foster care remain little studied. Based on 39 semi-directed individual interviews with social workers from child welfar...

La rencontre des services de protection de la jeunesse (PJ) et des familles racisées est porteuse de tensions qui, du point de vue des pratiques, restent peu documentées. Cet article s’appuie sur une recherche auprès de professionnelles et de gestionnaires des services de PJ. Les résultats montrent que dans le contexte de l’évaluation auprès de fam...
Article
The characteristics of children and their parents before placement in kinship care are poorly documented in the literature. The present exploratory study aimed to describe and profile the characteristics of children placed in kinship care and their mothers, as reported before placement. A latent class analysis performed on a cohort of 172 children...
Article
The Mixed-Bank Program (Quebec, Canada) is based on concurrent planning principles. While the primary goal of this placement is reunification of the child with their birth parents, the low probability of this happening calls for simultaneously planning for an alternative solution, such as adoption. As a result, foster-to-adopt families have to deal...
Article
Au Québec, comme ailleurs dans le monde, il est de plus en plus privilégié de recourir à des « personnes significatives » (PS) comme milieu de placement. De façon explicite, la Loi québécoise de la protection de la jeunesse (LPJ) stipule clairement que lorsque le maintien de l’enfant dans son milieu familial n’est pas possible, on doit favoriser le...

Objectives: The Quebec Youth Protection Act was amended in 2007. The main goal of this reform was to improve placement stability for children who are removed from their home for their protection. Among several legal provisions introduced was the establishment of maximum age-specific durations of out-of-home care, after which a plan must be establis...

Based on the gifting of a child to another member of the community, this practice of informal adoption...

A large proportion of Inuit children in Arctic Quebec are adopted in accordance with traditional Inuit customs. In contrast to adoptions in Southern Canada and the United States, the child is adopted at birth and by a close family member; he or she knows who his or her biological parents are, and will typically have contact with them. Studies of ot...

L’approche Looking After Children a été développée en Angleterre au début des années 1990 dans le but d’améliorer la qualité et l’efficacité des soins offerts aux enfants confiés à des familles d’accueil ou à des ressources résidentielles. Elle repose sur un cadre conceptuel du développement et du bien-être de l’enfant (Framework for the Assessment...

Le lien unissant un enfant à ses parents adoptifs se construit en l’absence d’un lien de sang. Il se fonde donc essentiellement sur la filiation juridique établie par l’adoption et sur la relation de soins, d’affection et de responsabilité qui se tisse à travers l’expérience concrète de la parentalité. Le présent chapitre vise à cerner la question...
