Industry Reviews
Across the country, thousands of children with special mental, physical, emotional, or placement needs wait in foster care or institutions for families to adopt them. Unfortunately, a system encumbered by red tape, outdated regulations, and institutional inefficiencies often slows, if not discourages, their adoption by families eager to give them a home. Babb and Laws offer here a practical guidebook to assist prospective adopters. The authors are adoption professionals with Ph.Ds. in psychology who between them have a total of 14 adopted children with special needs. Their book offers a wealth of practical advice on getting started, becoming a family, facing realities (finances, education, transracial adoption), and coping when things go wrong, plus an extensive appendix full of valuable resources. A nice addition to any adoption collection. KellyJo Houtz Griffin, Auburn, Wash.
