Description

Adoption practices of the past half century have brought pain and suffering to the very people they were meant to serve. The rights, responsibilities, and needs of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children have been confused with our society's tendency to protect, punish and take sides. Here, Suzanne Arms - internationally acclaimed author of Immaculate Deception-sheds light on the very heart of adoption: what it means to the indivviduals it so deeply effects. With compassion and understanding, she explores changing attitudes, provides valuable insight intp the longterm effects of adoption, and offers detailed suggestions that can empower everyone involved to create successful, humane adoptions. - from Amzon
