Don't be put off by the title; The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adoption is a great introduction for anyone who is in the early stages of considering adoption. In a breezy, down to earth, yet accurate format, Christine Adamec reviews the key factors you need in deciding if and how to adopt. The guide provides reassurance that adoption works, and helps you through the decision with checklists and discussion. Then it moves into addressing the questions you want answered - what you need to do to adopt. You will find information on topics such as preparing your home study, State law, choosing an agency or facilitator, gathering information, medical concerns, and more. All types of adoption are presented: international, domestic, open, closed, single, special needs and older adoptions. Expert advice on raising your child is also provided. A selected list of resources including agencies, support groups, doctors, and websites completes the package. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adoption is an inspiring and informative guide for anyone in the emotional and complicated process of considering adopting.
