“As a prospective parent, it is difficult to navigate the often puzzling array of information and decisions attendant to the process of international adoption. The purpose of the book is to help prospective parents better understand the risk factors as well as the protective factors a child from overseas presents.”

“The authors, a team of outstanding researchers and practitioners, present complex information in a practical format for parents, social workers, and educators. This is on the list of “must buys” for members of the adoption community.”—Deborah D. Gray, MSW, MPA, author of “Attaching in Adoption: Practical Tools for Today’s Parents”
