Intercountry Child Adoption $111.53 Adopting children transracially has been contentious. Amongst the major themes in adoption debates in many countries and in an international context have been the priority given to national adoption over intercountry adoption, and the childs right to the preservation of his or her cultural and ethnic background. This book was written based on the views of African immigrants in Sweden with the objective of bringing out the meanings they create on the major themes involved to enrich the international adoption discourse and to inform policy formation. There were mixed opinions on various themes involved. Some of their perspectives were consistent with previous political discourses on adoptions and others were not. Contrary to international conventions, participants showed much relevance to intercountry adoption as against incountry adoption. However, there were predominant views in support of child adoption that is well regulated. The analysis and discussion should be useful to policy makers, social workers, international organisations, adoption organisations and individuals interested in transracial adoptions or adopting children from interracial communities.

Ethics in American Adoption $129.05 Today in the United States there is a lack of consensus about what constitutes ethical practice in adoption. Although ethics in adoption is a hot topic, adoption specialists and professionals are unsure about how to serve the best interests of children who need to be adopted and how birth parents, adoptive parents, and adult adoptees ought to be served. This failure to identify and prioritize ethical standards in adoption has resulted in a lack of ethical decisionmaking and inadequateand sometimes fraudulenttreatment of those seeking adoptionrelated services. Destined to be seminal in the fields of ethics and adoption, this books offers numerous case studies describing what is wrong with Americas adoption system, illustrating what the lack of applied ethical standards in adoption does to adoptees and those who love them, and raising many questions about what adoption facilitators are doing, who is accountable for what they are doing, and whose interests they are serving.

Adoption and Loss The Hidden Grief $20.27 In this, her first book, Evelyn Robinson poignantly and thoroughly describes the losses experienced by all of those whose lives have been affected by adoption separation and the grief that they suffer. The book is based on the authors personal experience as a mother who lost a child through adoption and her experience as a social worker who has worked extensively in the area of postadoption counselling with adults. The book graphically describes the disenfranchised grief associated with adoption and suggests ways in which that hidden grief can be acknowledged and confronted. The author explains how both her personal and her professional experiences have led her to the conclusion that alternative care for children in need must no longer include adoption.

Adoption Now: Messages from Research $96.59 Adoption has undergone a transformation in the last decade or so, and has brought with it new and pressing issues such as the adoption of older children from care; contact with birth families after adoption; transracial placement; singleperson adoption; and the need for a postadoption support service. Over recent years, the Department of Health has commissioned a range of studies on adoption. They have since set up a working party largely comprising practitioners to review the results of these studies and draw out the implications for practice and policy.

Adoption Reunion Ecstasy or Agony? $20.27 A reunion between family members who have been separated by an adoption can be a very emotional event. For most people there is great joy and excitement, but for some there can be anger and disappointment. Sometimes there is a mixture of both ecstasy and agony. Evelyn Robinson has written this book to help to explain that mixture of feelings and to increase understanding of the emotional dynamics of the reunion experience. Although the author lives and works in South Australia, the information in this book is pertinent to anyone, anywhere in the world, who is interested in the outcomes of adoption separation and reunion. Australia has led the Englishspeaking world in providing legal access to adoption information, which can facilitate reunion between adults separated by adoption. When children are adopted, they are no longer legally related to any member of their original families ie the family of their original mother and the family of their original father. When they become adults, however, many adopted people are reunited with their families of origin. This book contains a selection from the many discussions which Evelyn has had around adoption separation and reunion over a period of more than twenty years.

After Adoption: Direct Contact and Relationships $79.57 Few children nowadays are placed for adoption with no form of contact planned with birth relatives and it has become common professional practice to advocate direct rather than indirect contact. Practice has outstripped evidence in this respect and not enough is known about how contact arrangements actually work out, particularly for older children adopted from state care. Such children have often experienced neglect, and sometimes abuse, and have frequently been adopted without parental agreement. Based on research with a large number of adoptive parents, children and birth relatives, After Adoption considers the impact of direct postadoption contact on all concerned in such cases. It also: ? discusses the development of adoption policy and law, particularly with regard to the legal and social consequences ? reviews the research evidence on adopted childrens contact with their birth families? explores through interviews: participants feelings about adoption and direct contact; their relationships with each other; what hinders and what helps.After Adoption challenges readers to rethink the relationship between adoption and the possibility of direct postadoption contact and at the same time provides a comprehensive understanding of adoption issues. It is a timely and valuable addition to the literature on adoption, making a substantial contribution to policy and practice.

Waiting for Daisy $5.99 OrensteinÂ’s story begins when she tells her new husband that sheÂ’s not sure she ever wants to be a mother; it ends six years later after sheÂ’s done almost everything humanly possible to achieve that goal, from fertility sex to escalating infertility treatments to New Age remedies to forays into international adoption. Her saga unfolds just as professional women are warned by the media to heed the ticking of their biological clocks, and just as fertility clinics have become a boom industry, with over two million women a year seeking them out. Buffeted by one jaw-dropping obstacle after another, Orenstein seeks answers both medical and spiritual in America and Asia, along the way visiting an old flame whoÂ’s now the father of fifteen, and discovering in Japan a ritual of surprising solace. All the while she tries to hold onto a marriage threatened by cycles, appointments, procedures and disappointments. Waiting for Daisy is an honest, wryly funny report from the front, an intimate page-turner that illuminates the ambivalence, obsession, and sacrifice that characterize so many modern womenÂ’s lives. |
