Intercountry Adoptions: Laws and Perspectives of "Sending" Countries

By Eliezer David Jaffe

The incidence of foreign adoptions from the nations of South America, Eastern Europe and Asia has greatly increased as a result of the drastic decrease in the number of adoptable babies from western nations. This book, written by adoption workers and legal scholars from twelve sending' countries, presents, for the first time, details of those countries' adoption laws and procedures as well as international agreements governing foreign adoptions. An important and long-awaited reference book for potential adoptive couples, child care workers, legal experts and social service agencies.
