agree  Ellen Kraus: I wanted to add that, though I suggested, the somewhat strange socio-ambiental, I personally prefer the term socio-environmental, but my additional remarks kept disappearing

agree  Elettra Franchi: Esatto, l'ecologia non c'entra proprio niente...Mi chiedevo solo se il termine "socio-ambientale" puo' essere usato in questo contesto.

  -> Grazie Elettra! Io credo di sì perché si tratta del ambiente familiare, quello dove l'adottivo deve trovare le condizioni di una vita migliore. Vedi il link riportato sopra.

agree  blattanzi: si, ma non c'è bisogno di specificare troppo: "social environment" indica chiaramente l'ambiente sociale

social and environmental status inquiry


Explanation:
The best translation here may vary, depending on the English speaking country it is destined to. You may want to reasearch a little on adoption requirements in England and/or the US.
