This book was very informative; however, most of the book lists adoption agencies in all 52 states. While this is helpful, it is almost the entire book. This book is not a one-stop adoption resource book. The book should go more indept as to the different steps involved. For instance, the book mentions home study; however, there is no mention as to what exactly is a home study. What are they looking for, what kind of questions do they ask, etc. I think this book is worth buying, because it does have a lot of information in it, but you will need to buy other books as well.

While the book touched on the highlights of requirements for adoption, I was disappointed that it did not go into further depth of the entire process. The majority of the book consisted of listings of certain requirements of agencies throughout the U.S. I was hoping for a little more guidance through the process.

I am an avid reader of adoption books and this title is not the only book that has adoption professional info as Ms. Adamec states. There are others on the market in which cover all types of adoption professionals-agencies, attorneys, facilitators, counselors, consultants, adoption-service providers, etc.
