A Great Place to Start
Chris Adamec is an adoptive parent who has been writing about adoption for over 15 years. While she has long been identified with conservative adoption groups such as the National Council for Adoption, to her credit, her book gives fair voice to new practices and trends including open adoption, adoption by same-gender couples, and adoptees' search for birthparents. It is this objectivity that makes her book so valuable. Those approaching adoption will find overviews of various options, types, and methods of adoption, and given tools to help them make the best choices.
