摘要
The need for adoption competent mental health services has been well documented. However, the term "adoption-competent" has lacked a standardized, broadly accepted definition. This article reports findings from two related studies. The first examines how adoption competencies are demonstrated in practice by clinicians participating in an evidence-informed adoption competency training program. The second is an online survey designed to determine whether members of adoption kinship networks agree with a definition of an adoption competentmental health professional developed by experts. Both studies contribute to our understanding of what constitutes "adoption competent" clinical practice.
