With her background and experience in social work and the child welfare system, and after countless conversations with other pre-adoptive parents, she developed this workbook to help others ask the important questions that will guide them through the complicated process.This incredibly comprehensive workbook includes: Detailed descriptions of the different types of adoption and foster care, including foster-to-adopt, private domestic adoptions, international adoptions, and embryo adoptions; Questions and issues to consider for each type of adoption; Questions to help in selecting the right agency and ensuring they adhere to ethical practices and policies; Conversations to consider with your partner or support system before starting the process; Questions to help address personal expectations and motivations; Questions regarding how to address social issues, including medical and psychological issues, and challenges facing multi-cultural families. This edition features white interior pages in order to qualify for expanded distribution, but has the exact same content as the first edition.
