Consent requirements and the rights of putative fathers are also examined, as are the pros and cons of open adoptions, i.e., where contact with the birth family is maintained. The title discusses the costs and tax benefits of adoption, and the availability of assistance for special-needs children. Post-adoption considerations, such as access to birth records and inheritance issues are also addressed, along with an overview of international adoption. With appendixes featuring applicable statutes, forms, resource directories, state summaries for comparison, and other pertinent information.

Review:
After reading The Law of Adoption, the reader should feel that he or she has a good working knowledge of the legal aspects of adoption and will understand that jurisdiction largely determines the ways adoptions are handled. Clearly labeled charts and tables provide a general introduction to each state's adoption laws.--Jessica Wimer, Law Library Journal
