The Complete Adoption Book: Everything You Need to Know to Adopt a Child
The first clue that this book is not a “complete” telling of the story of the multi-billion dollar US adoption industry is the fact that Holt International and the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys give it such high praise.
The truth is much more complicated and filled with human rights abuses, including but not limited to illegal and unethical procurement practices; so much so, that the US adoption industry is the main lobbyist keeping our government from signing the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
If you don’t care, and all you want is a baby, then you’ll like the book. It will tell you all you want to know, and not confuse you with the majority of the facts.

While attempting a complete adoption resource, the authors of this book have only discouraging and incorrect comments for lesbian and gay would-be parents. This lack of professionalism taints the entire book.

Due to issues with infertility my husband and I have decided to look into adopting. This book has been wonderful for answering any and all of our questions. I highly recommend it to anyone considering adoption or already in the process.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is massive and confusing. I thought it would give some step by step insight into the adoption process but was disappointed. I also felt left out by the types of adoptive groups it described…We happen to be a financially stable young married couple that CHOOSES to adopt, not infertile. I felt like I was in some unheard-of catagory…anyway..don’t know whether to invest in a different book or what at this point

This book really breaks the adoption journey into chapters and helps teh reader get the real deal. From personal stories to an appendix of adoption attorneys this book will help your adoption journey go smoothly! Would absolutely recommend
