This paper responds to this call by proposing rhetorical studies as a fruitful theoretical and methodological perspective to examine the constructed, contested and discursive nature of risk and risk-based professional practice in youth care. Our contribution is based on a qualitative study of how risk rhetorically operates in a residential youth care facility in Flanders (Belgium). Building on the method of rhetorical fieldwork and additional focus groups with practitioners, we examine the constitutive and persuasive functions of risk discourse as well as potential instances of ‘speaking back’ against dominant risk discourses. Our analysis reveals three main findings: (1) the constitution of ambiguous youth as/at risk identities, (2) risk as a procedural, spatial and institutional construct and (3) reflexive re-constructions of risk. Given that even more reflexive professional approaches in our data remain largely structured around the notion of ‘risk (calculation)’, we discuss what rhetoric can offer in the challenge of developing reflexive practices that move beyond risk and/or invite rather than avoid risk and uncertainty in youth care.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 1","pages":"533-541"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145915785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The REA involved searching for relevant English language literature (2012–2023) in ASSIA, Social Care Online, SocINDEX and PsycInfo and specialist journals. However, it was soon apparent that the literature was not segmented by career stage and wider searches relating to knowledge and skills needed to be undertaken.

These myths have erased the nuances and complexities of transracial–transnational adoption by commodifying adoptees as pitiful orphans in need of rescue, first families as incapable or unworthy, and adoptive parents, countries and organizations as benevolent saviours, with adoption as a purely humanitarian act. The arguments presented here are both personal and political and are attempted through a decolonial reflexive lens. The paper deploys an autoethnographic approach examining aspects of white hegemony in adoption, unpacking the experiences of adopted South Korean Australians (adoptees of Korean descent raised in hegemonically white families and communities) to explore how whiteness shapes and obscures one's self-understanding of adoption and how colourblindness appropriates and colonizes their identity as ‘white Asians’ or ‘invisible Asians’. These experiences will be compared and critiqued with broader adoption literature and interwoven with narrative and creative productions by South Korean adoptees—to articulate and centre adoptees' voices as experts in their own lives and to contribute to a decolonial politics of knowledge production and a step towards the decolonization of adoption.</p>","PeriodicalId":10025,"journal":{"name":"Child & Family Social Work","volume":"31 1","pages":"511-520"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cfs.13293","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145916043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has highlighted preadoptive and postadoptive factors that might influence well-being, emphasizing the importance of family context during development for future adjustment. This work also aims to identify variables that promote psychological well-being, including both previous difficulties and positive influences from the family environment.

Their mean age at adoption was 1.85 years. Findings show that psychological well-being is influenced by previous difficulties and family factors during development.
