Adoption For Dummies

You hear all sorts of things said or implied about adoption. Some information comes from people who know a lot about it, while some comes from people who don't know anything about it but make assumptions anyway. Some comes from people whose experiences have been good; some from those whose experiences have been bad.

Description

An informative guide covering the ins and outs of the adoption process.

The thousands of Americans who consider adoption each year face a host of tough questions. Should we adopt within the country or internationally? Should we adopt through an agency, foster care system, or independently? Should the adoption be "open" or "closed"? These are crucial questions potential adoptive parents must answer, along with dealing with the anxiety of being evaluated as potential parents.

Adoption For Dummies walks readers through every step of the adoption process, from deciding whether or not they are ready to adopt a child to choosing the right form of adoption, and deciding whether to meet with birthparents.

This comprehensive, compassionate guide covers money-saving techniques for dealing with adoption and legal fees. It also offers time-saving tips on cutting through the red tape and speeding up the adoption process.

Adoption For Dummies also addresses the difficult situation of what happens when dissolving an adoption and provides tips and advice on dealing with the first 12 weeks spent with an adopted child.
