A guide to all aspects of adoption, including motivating factors - is adoption really "second best" for some couples, how the system works, including coping with frustration, delays and rejection, adopting from overseas and cultural issues. The book examines the current requirements about contact with natural parents, and the pressures they can bring for both adoptive and natural parents. There is a balanced mixture of the factual and the personal, making this a useful guide for anyone affected by adoption.
