KAREN F. ROSENBERG is a clinical social worker who has been in practice for twenty-three years.
For the first time, writers and practitioners in infant and older placed adoptions have come together to explore the similarities and differences between these two groups.
Seven contributions explore issues involved in the American institution of adoption. Discussion includes the similarities and differences between outcomes and treatment for different ages of adoptees, adoption as a solution to infertility, identity, family search and reunion, the history and elements of adoption support, and ethics in contemporary adoption practice.
