From Library Journal:

Canape has written an excellent sourcebook on adoption to "help others through the adoption process." The book will do that, as well as provide information on the adoption process for other interested persons. Every aspect of adoption, from the decision to adopt to telling the adopted child, is covered. Particularly strong are the chapters on the search for an agency and the home study. In contrast to other recent books, which focus on one couple's experience, this book offers procedural advice and emotional support for several types of adoption, including agency, independent, foreign, single-parent, and special needs children. Appendixes include lists of agencies and support groups for persons who adopt. Highly recommended for most public libraries. Susan A. McBride, L.R.C., Northeast Texas Community Coll., Mt. Pleasant
