Adoption Law: Theory, Policy, and Practice; Second Edition

The second edition of this important casebook contains
statutes from every region of the United States and from as
many states as possible; extensively edited cases from
several jurisdictions; interdisciplinary materials that
reflect sociological and psychological aspects of adoption;
tools such as practice pointers, a hearing transcript and
forms to give a bird's-eye view of the practice of adoption
law; a list of selected websites and information on how the
Internet is used at various stages of the adoption process;
plus a table of cases, appendices and an index. There are
also new chapters on alternatives to adoption, child welfare
and ethics. Professors will find this information to be
valuable for classroom discussion, while practitioners will
find it to be an asset for drafting documents and
representing their clients.
