Great Resource!
I found this book to be one of the better resource books on adoption that I've read so far. It was particularly helpful for us because we are adopting an older child through another state's social services agency. There isn't a lot of information out there specifically for older child adoption and this book provided some new information for us.

Great overview of the process and pitfalls
This is a great book to start the process of adoption, with information on all aspects of adopting. Once you read it, you will be able to narrow down the huge number of choices. Because of the massive amount of information on each aspect of adoption, you will need other references once you chose the plan that's right for you. However, this is the complete place to start your journey.

Great Book...more for Babies adoptions though
Loved the inforamtion. The book spends most of its pages on baby adoptions out of the country, as opposed to in state adotpions as I was hoping. This book does provide information on each states procedures and processes. I'm not sorry I got the book, it will be a useful tool through our state adoption process.
