"A treasure. It is the most complete book on adoption-ever-by one of the most eloquent, knowledgeable experts in the field." -Sharon Roszia, co-author of
The Open Adoption Experience and program manager of the Kinship Center
With compassion for adopted individuals and adoptive and birth parents alike, Adam Pertman explores the history and human impact of adoption, explodes the corrosive myths surrounding it, and tells compelling stories about its participants as they grapple with issues relating to race, identity, equality, discrimination, personal history, and connections with all their families. For the first edition of this groundbreaking examination of adoption and its impact on us all, Pertman won awards from many organizations, including the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, the Dave Thomas Center for Adoption Law, the American Adoption Congress, the Century Foundation, Holt International, and the US Congress. In this updated edition, Pertman reveals how changing attitudes and laws are transforming adoption-and thereby American society-in the twenty-first century.
"Groundbreaking... courageous, penetrating, engaging, and deeply personal. -David Brodzinksy, Ph.D., co-author of
Being Adopted: The Lifelong Search for Self
"Creative, insightful, and a must-read." -Ruth McRoy, Ph.D., co-author of
Openness in Adoption: Exploring Family Connections
"Pertman combines journalistic research and personal anecdotes in this stimulating overview of the trends and cultural ramifications of adoption." -
Publishers Weekly
"A valuable experience for anyone, especially the adoptive parent." -
