Written by a former social worker, this book is based on case histories, research data, and interpretive analysis. It is intended for college students and professionals.

Taking a look at the adoption process, this guide provides prospective adoptive parents with the insider information that they need to navigate the process, and it provides students with the expert insight they need to grasp classroom theory. It also includes a directory of adoption agencies in the United States and Canada.
