Review of 'Children of open adoption and their families' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A good book to read if you're considering adoption. A lot of anecdotal information about open adoption and how it plays out in the real world.

I was somewhat disappointed that there was no mention of how open adoption might be different in families headed by same-sex couples, and was somewhat turned off by the book's insistence that all adoptive parents must deal with the grief that arises from infertility. Not all families start because the adopters are infertile.
