This volume considers various aspects of the "business" of adoption in terms of market factors. With the shifting demographics of infant adoption, international adoption, and special needs adoption, issues are raised about the role of money in adoption, who holds the "power" in adoption, and to whom adoption professionals are accountable. Increasingly, the field of adoption struggles with such questions as: To what extent has there been a commodification of children who are placed with adoptive families? How is the adoption process regulated and by whom? How are the roles of birth and adoptive parents affected by differences in resources? Is the concept of accountability relevant to adoption, and if so, how? Do market forces undermine ethical adoption practice? This is the second title in a series on adoption and ethics developed by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and designed to provide an overview of the current knowledge base on key adoption policy and practice issues.
