This review is from: The All Inclusive Handbook To Adopting A Child: Everything you must know to adopt a child, from adoption agencies to sensitive situations you need to be prepared for. (Paperback)

I should have looked at the details of the book closer. At only 122 pages, how could it be considered 'All-Inclusive'? The information was very general, averaging only two or three paragraphs per heading. Most (if not all) of the information is available online. This book did not go deeply into any one topic at all. I would venture to say that it does not go into the subject of adoption too deeply. It really is more of an overview, and if it had been billed as that, I would not have returned it. If it is Volume 1, I'm wondering where Volume 2 is.

So why even two stars? This might serve as a good introduction to adoption, but I might even caution against that. If you are serious enough about adoption to be purchasing books about it, you really need something with some meat to it. There are few things more dangerous than a little knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Includes information on possible scams, January 28, 2010

This review is from: The All Inclusive Handbook To Adopting A Child: Everything you must know to adopt a child, from adoption agencies to sensitive situations you need to be prepared for. (Paperback)

I appreciated the information on safety guidelines, dealing with birth mother scams, adoption agency rip-offs, and online tricks. Every adoptive parent should be aware of all aspects in order to be fully prepared. Adoption alone is a very emotional process, getting scammed should be the least of all worries. So it's good that this book prepares you for that because awareness is always the first thing to prevention. Good job!

This review is from: The All Inclusive Handbook To Adopting A Child: Everything you must know to adopt a child, from adoption agencies to sensitive situations you need to be prepared for. (Paperback)

This is an adoption manual every adoptive parent must have. Provides complete information on all the types of adoption, and what you can expect on each. Even what you can expect after bringing the child home and helping him and other family members adjust to real life circumstances. Very practical book.
