Anyone considering adoption knows that it is a complicated process, no matter which adoption path you choose.

This book discusses every possible adoption choice and tells you what you need to know. International vs. domestic adoption, closed vs. open adoption, foster adoption, non traditional family adoption...it's all covered. There's even an entire section dedicated to the unique challenges of raising an adopted child.

What makes this book unique is the tidbits of "inside information" that are included in the margins and throughout the text. It might be a tip from an adoption attorney, the story of a family with several adopted children...anything the official adoption books might not tell you. That makes this book more comprehensive than other adoption guides available. Personally, I appreciated the extra information.

Of course, the end of the book includes a glossary and a guide to adoption resources by state. This is usually included in adoption books and is very helpful for starting the adoption process, finding an adoption support group, etc.

I would recommend this book to someone who is beginning to think about the adoption choice and would like some extra ideas and suggestions.… (més)
