Adoption in the United States,
This review is from: Adoption in the United States: A Reference for Families, Professionals, and Students (Paperback)
This book was very helpful in providing all the necessary current and comprehensive information that I needed in my adoption search. Especially helpful were the topics on legal issues and financial aspects of adoption, medical and mental health considerations, and more than a dozen appendices providing the readers with up-to-date data.
