When Adoptions Go Wrong: Psychological and Legal Issues of Adoption Disruption

By Lita Linzer Schwartz

Book Overview

What if you were an adopted child and someone tried to remove you from the family you had grown to love? In the last twenty years, changes in laws, judicial decisions, social welfare practices, and the availability of American children for adoption have led to an increase in disrupted adoptions. When Adoptions Go Wrong: Psychological and Legal Issues of Adoption Disruption examines the psychological and forensic aspects of adoption with an emphasis on how negative events can affect children and the families that choose to adopt them--and how you can prevent those events from happening.
