Praise for You Can Adopt "An excellent handbook... this thorough and honest resource stands out among other books on the topic in both its comprehensiveness and the authors' candor. Rather than endorsing any one way to adopt, the [authors] examine many approaches and outline the benefits and pitfalls of each." —Booklist (starred review) "A satisfying combination of facts and guidelines that are simple to follow with the supportive, lyrical, sentimental and experienced words of those who have lived the experiences of every aspect of the process from beginning to end."—Dr. Jane Aronson, director, International Pediatric Health Services, and CEO, Worldwide Orphans Foundation "An absolute must-read. These tales are hauntingly beautiful, all about the astonishing power of love between children and parents who in so many cases seemed eerily destined to be together. This book convinced me: If you want to do so, you can adopt—and it will be the best thing you’ve ever done." —Susan Kane, editor-in-chief, Parenting Magazine "The definitive guide to adoption: readable, reliable, and comprehensive. Every possible question—even the most sensitive—is answered here, and the companion website ensures the information will never go out of date." —Mark T. McDermott, past president, American Academy of Adoption Attorneys "A necessary resource for anyone considering adoption. Going far beyond what you find on the Internet, You Can Adopt filters through the noise and gathers the best there is to know on the experience of adopting." —Susan Soonkeum Cox, vice president, Holt International Children’s Services Back to Adoptive Families Homepage "What a Difference It Makes to Come Home to a Child"
