A FAIRLY "COMPLETE" GUIDE TO ADOPTION,
By Carol Swift (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Adoption Book (Paperback)
A GOOD BOOK FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DECIDED TO ADOPT A CHILD BUT ARE OVERWHELMED BY ALL THE CHOICES. A CLEAR, CONCISE GUIDE WHICH OBJECTIVELY RELATES THE PROS AND CONS OF ALL OPTIONS AVAILABLE. COVERS SUBJECTS SUCH AS FINDING A BIRTH MOTHER, MEETING A BIRTH MOTHER, BIRTH FATHERS AND THEIR RIGHTS, OPEN ADOPTION, THE HOME STUDY (NOT A VERY THROUGH CHAPTER-JUST A GENERAL OVERVIEW, ADOPTION EXPENSES. THE AUTHOR ADDRESSED MEDICAL CONCERS SUCH AS DRUG, ALCOHOL, AND TOBBACCO USE BY THE BIRTH MOTHER. THE BOOK ALSO COVERED SOME LEGAL ISSUES AND GAVE TIPS ON CHOOSING AN ATTORNEY OR AGENCY. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN DEPTH INFO ON HOW TO FIND A BIRTH MOTHER OR IN DEPTH INFO ON THE HOMESTUDY, HOW TO TALK TO A BIRTHMOTHER, HOW TO EVALUATE A BIRTHMOTHER'S SINCERITY, OR HOW TO RAISE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE ADOPTION ITSELF THEN YOU WILL NEED TO BUY A DIFFERENT BOOK. OVERALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK IN RELATION TO OTHER BOOKS THAT CLAIM TO BE "COMPLETE".

Truly a complete guide to adoption,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Adoption Book (Paperback)
Ms. Beauvais-Godwin covers most aspects of domestic and international adoption producing what is an invaluable reference for a family chosing whether or not to adopt. She provides an exhaustive list of state-by-state requirements and even covers adoption by Canadians. This book provides guidance in all the fundamental steps of adoption, from chosing an agency to having a home study done. I can honestly say this book is the best book on adoption I have encountered. I highly recommended it to anyone who is considering any type of adoption.
