 Truly a complete guide to adoption September 4, 2003

Ms. Beauvais-Godwin covers most aspects of domestic and international adoption producing what is an invaluable reference for a family chosing whether or not to adopt. She provides an exhaustive list of state-by-state requirements and even covers adoption by Canadians. This book provides guidance in all the fundamental steps of adoption, from chosing an agency to having a home study done. I can honestly say this book is the best book on adoption I have encountered. I highly recommended it to anyone who is considering any type of adoption.

If anyone is considering any form of adoption, they need not look much further than this book for general information. It covers a wide range of subjects related to adoption, is very thorough and informative, and also quite easy to read. I picked it up because my wife and I are considering interracial special needs adoption, and most books don't talk about these subjects in depth, but this one does.

I am in the adoption field. I have helped to facilitate over 30 adoptions in the past 18 months. Laura's book is a must read for each of my clients wishing to adopt. The section in the back, will give you valuable information if you are Prospective Adoptive Parents networking to find a Birthmother and need brief information on states laws. Thank you Laura for helping us understand the steps toward having a successful adoption journey!! If you are just begining to learn more about the adoption journey...read this book...and use Laura's helpful hints....and may your journey be successful. I did, and have two beautiful daughters, Nicole,age 8 & Taylor, age 7months to prove her methods work!! A Miller
