“…The study findings indicate several key experiences that consolidate into a general narrative, which includes different poles of intense feelings of helplessness and control, loss and meaning, acceptance and guilt. The findings of this study reinforce those of other studies (e.g., Haagenstad, 1992;Schofield, et al, 2010), creating a solid basis for understanding how the parents perceive the effect of the children's removal from home.…”

“…In a study in Israel, Jaffe (1976) reported that most of the parents perceived the arrangement as necessary, in light of their health, economic, and personal problems, as well as their inability to cope with the children, which prevented them from caring for their children at home.

This family confronted many challenges with the return of a child who had been raised outside of the community.…”

“…In fact parents are likely to feel that there is an imbalance of rights and this imbalance is against their child's interests as well as their own. Indeed, when a child is removed by the child protection services from parental care, the loss and grief experienced by the parent whose identity as a parent is threatened is acute, as is the child's own experience of trauma (Burgheim, 2005;Schofield et al, 2010). Again any notion of unfair proceedings and imbalance of rights only compounds these feelings.…”
