Written by two international adoption social workers with decades of experience, one of them an adoptive mother, this guide provides a thorough look at the international adoption process. Each chapter offers an easy to read explanation of the often complicated steps required when adopting a foreign born child. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout, prospective adoptive parents will find the authors' insights both personal and professional. Whether just beginning to think about international adoption or having already decided to build one's family by adopting abroad, the information and advice found in these pages will prove valuable guidance and education, as well as soothing fears of the unknown. Having worked with hundreds of adoptive families, the authors have much to share to help prospective adoptive parents consider and understand both the joys and challenges typical of international adoption.
