A guide to all aspects of child adoption, including an examination of the motivating factors. The book covers the question of whether adoption is 'second best' for some couples, how to cope with frustration, delays and rejection, adopting from overseas, and cultural issues. Sarah Biggs examines the issues concerning contact with natural parents, and the pressures this can bring for all concerned. There is a balanced mixture of the factual and the personal, making this an invaluable guide for anyone considering adoption.
