5.0 out of 5 stars
Should be Required Reading,
By
This review is from: Blue-Ribbon Babies and Labors of Love: Race, Class, and Gender in U.S. Adoption Practice (Louann Atkins Temple Women & Culture) (Hardcover)
This book should be required reading for any parent(s) that are considering adoption. The author experienced and has interviewed many parents. The book describes adoption as it actually is, over many years of a child's life. Not as adoption is depicted by the media. It is real, it is weighty, and not something to view with starry eyed ignorance.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended for college-level collections strong in family studies and social issues,

This review is from: Blue-Ribbon Babies and Labors of Love: Race, Class, and Gender in U.S. Adoption Practice (Louann Atkins Temple Women & Culture) (Hardcover)
BLUE-RIBBON BABIES AND LABORS OF LOVE: RACE, CLASS AND GENDER IN U.S. ADOPTION PRACTICE is recommended for college-level collections strong in family studies and social issues. It analyzes how class, gender and race influence public and private adoption in this country, comparing U.S. experience with international practices. Interviews with adoption social workers, lawyers, and would-be parents blend with the author's own long-term participant observation and analysis in this fine survey.
