Is Adoption for You? : The Information You Need to Make the Right Choice
by Christine Adamec

From Booklist
With her Encyclopedia of Adoption (1991) and related works, Adamec has made writing about adoption a cottage industry. Her readable, well-researched new book doesn't assume the reader is intent on adoption; instead, it provides prospective adoptive parents with the information and inspiration for deciding whether to adopt. Adamec poses questions to consider when assessing oneself, one's family, spouse, attorneys, and pediatricians, so that the readers become their own advocates. She discusses transracial and international adoption, single-parent adoption, infertility, and--unusually evenhandedly--the option of remaining childless. Unlike many books on adoption, Adamec's neither gushes about nor warns against it, and it offers practical checklists, articulate reviews of pertinent research, two dense appendixes, and much more. Moreover, her sensitive and realistic understanding of children and their needs and her fascinating critique of the concept of bonding are reasons enough for anyone, whether currently seeking to adopt or not, to use the book as a reference and guide.

Book Description
"Adoption is the right option for many more types of parents and children than we imagined a few decades ago. However, it is not the right choice for everyone. Is Adoption for You? is a guide to thinking through the issues."—from the Foreword by Jerri Ann Jenista, M.D.

Would adopting a child be a good choice for you? Would you want to adopt an infant or an older child? What about a child from another country? A child of another race? Would you be willing to adopt a child with medical problems? Could you agree to involvement and openness with the birthmother? Would you be better off working with an agency or an attorney? Do you have to be married? How much does it really cost?

Before you decide, make sure you have all the facts. In this warm, straightforward new book, adoption expert—and adoptive parent—Christine Adamec gives you the information you need to make this important decision. From financial considerations to the myriad emotional issues involved, there are numerous questions to explore. Adamec's expert guidance, drawn from personal stories, clinical studies, and academic research, helps you find the answers that are right for you.

The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
