Adoption digest

"Adoption is a life-long process that brings both joy and sorrow to those whose lives have been forever changed through its experience. The personal and intensely emotional stories related in this book realistically illustrate both the positive and negative aspects of adoption. This inclusive and honest portrayal of adoption includes stories about children of all ages, in a variety of situations, with different needs and challenges.

Also presented are stories about the families and individuals who adopt them for reasons as numerous and varied as the children themselves. Anyone who has adopted, has been adopted, has planned an adoption, or has worked in adoption will recognize and appreciate the variety of challenges and successes illustrated in these stories. And for families considering adoption, the genuine, informative voices heard in each chapter bring to life the emotional and legal complexity of adoption."--BOOK JACKET.
