I received an advance readers copy of the book.
The Adoption Paradox is a clear, easy to follow, straightforward look at the multi-layered and emotionally charged world of adoption. Jean Kelly Widner thoughtfully explains and examines all aspects and dimensions of adoption, sharing real stories of those who have experienced adoption firsthand, those who have professionally worked with children, adults, and families affected by adoption, and the studies and statistics which illuminate this legal process with very human consequences. The Adoption Paradox should be required reading for would-be parents considering adoption, students who want a career in social services and helping professions, and adoptees seeking understanding of this path from which they came into a family. Highly recommended for all!
