In this uniquely interdisciplinary book, Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant contributors wrestle with such concrete issues as the psychology of family ties, the advisability of cross-cultural adoption, the morality of single-parent adoption, and the new concept of embryo adoptions. Their conclusions pave the way for better-informed reflection and action by scholars and those considering adoption.
Adding a literary touch are letters from ethicist Gilbert Meilaender to his adopted son, Derek.
