Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA-- This unique reference succeeds in bringing together interdisciplinary research and knowledge on a complex subject. In one alphabet, the legal, medical, social, philosophical, emotional, and historical terms of adoption are discussed clearly as to their meaning and implications. The entries run the gamut from ``abandonment'' to ``zygote adoption,'' and include thoughtful essays about such topics as interracialand gay and lesbian adoption. Those considering searching for or placing a child for adoption will encounter complete information on all of the options. For social studies students, the introduction presents a meaningful and compassionate historical overview. Appendixes give lists of organizations and agencies as well as demographic data.

From Library Journal

In more than 300 entries ranging in length from a few sentences to several thousand words, Adamec, a freelance writer with several published works on adoption, and Pierce, president of the National Committee for Adoption, address the complex legal, social, emotional, and medical aspects of adoption in the United States. Their book is, for the most part, clearly written, although there are occasional lapses into jargon. The bibliographies are current, but they appear to be "works consulted" lists rather than thoughtful suggestions for further reading. The appendixes comprise a helpful directory of adoption agencies and groups. The minor shortcomings of this encyclopedia are outweighed by the fact that it competently covers an area previously lacking a comprehensive reference work. Recommended for all but the smallest public libraries.
