About this title

Review:

How To Adopt Internationally is an up-to-date, practical, step-by-step guide for "Agency-Directed" and independent adoptions overseas. How To Adopt Internationally is designed for prospective parents and organized around 23 steps that cover everything from learning about the international adoption process and organizing a home study, to fulfilling state requirements, choosing a country to adopt from, working through emigration and immigration, traveling abroad, and adjusting to the new life with a child. Enhancing the value of How To Adopt Internationally is the "Compendium", up-to-date information on all child-placing countries. For each of the countries listed there is a summary of adoption laws and requirements for adopting parents as well as the government authority in charge of adoption and the number of children adopted by U. S. citizens for the last two years. Basic geographic an demographic information (including language, currency, religion, and other information) is also provided for each country. How To Adopt Internationally is essential reading for anyone considering an adoption abroad. -- Midwest Book Review
