Adoption for Dummies

this book was a wealth of information and was worth the money. It was written in terms easy for me to understand and it brought to my attention things i never thought about before

If you are considering adoption (or have already decided!) this is the book to get. I got this book when my husband and I were first looking into adoption. It gives a great overview of adoption and explains each step very well. It can be read straight through or you can go straight to a certain page to get answers for your questions. Now that we are a little further along in the adoption process I'm reading it again and getting even more out of it. I've read about 6 different adoption books so far and this one is the best.

The author's adoption expertise is vast--that is why she can make adoption truths and realities easy to understand. I highly recommend this book!

We were considering adoption, and knew absolutely nothing about it before reading this book. It gives an excellent, neutral explanation of everything you need to know about adoption. It doesn't sugar coat anything. It is also a great book because you don't have to read it in any certain order. You can pick and choose which chapters interest you. It was very informative and made me feel more confident about the whole process. I would recommend it to anyone considering adoption.

I began reading this book last fall. It was exactly what I was looking for. A high level overview of the different types of adoption, along with lots of practical advice on what to expect when adopting. The format was easy to read and easy to follow. I feel that this book gave a very honest, straightforward view of all types of adoption, so that the reader could decide what they are most comfortable with. Now that we have decided on an adoption path, we are on to other resources, but Adoption For Dummies was really helpful while we were trying to decide what path to take.
