|summary=A useful overview of the state of adoption in the UK. Things lose their way somewhat when looking at the specific issues surrounding social networking and adoption, taking too narrow a viewpoint, despite the important points being made. There's plenty of useful information here, but it could have achieved even more.

''Bubble Wrapped Children'' takes a look at the state of adoption in the UK, and how aspects of it are being threatened by the use of social networks. The author, with over 20 years' experience in the adoption world, paints a broad picture of the issues facing adopters and adoptees. Peppering the text are some examples of unwanted Facebook contact from birth parents, which have had massive knock-on effects for the adopted children.
