MUST READ FOR ADOPTIVE PARENTS!!

If you are considering adopting a child from Eastern Europe or China or are in the process of an adoption you should definitely read this book!

Excellent for those adopting from Eastern Europe

There are too few books on the market about adoption from Eastern Europe, and a glut of information about adoption from Asian countries. While I think adoption from *anywhere* is wonderful, I was searching for info on Romanian adoptions. Imagine my delight to read this book written by Dr. Bascom, who was in Romania after the "wall" fell, and the western world got it's first glimpse into Romanian orphanages. Granted, conditions now have improved, but we were very happy to have this source of information. The book was also a great gift for some of our family members, as they got to read about the adoption process, the children, special needs, and our adoption plan. It made the process, and our desire to adopt from Romania, come alive for them. Soooo, if you're adopting from Romania, this book might just be for you!

Excellent resource if adopting from Eastern Europe

This book identifies critical information to help you understand international adoption in Eastern Europe. I thought the book was invaluable, it has lead me to do more research on subjects I never would have thought about. It has also reinforced my reasons for adopting internationally. If knowledge is power, this book is a must read.
