From Library Journal:
With the demand for healthy babies far outstripping the supply, adoption can be a time-consuming, costly, and frustrating process. Nevertheless, thousands of successful adoptions occur each year, and Sullivan's guide will help ease the way for prospective adoptive parents. Sullivan, an adoption lawyer, covers both the emotional issues (e.g., "Why Do You Want To Adopt?") and practical matters such as choosing from a wide array of adoption services, applying to an agency, preparing for a home study, satisfying legal requirements, and dealing with birth parents. Sullivan concludes with a sample home study, an explanation of fee structures, an annotated information guide, and a glossary. In all, a valuable resource for public libraries. The book's promotional material noted that a state-by-state listing of information sources would be included; the final version of the book provides a contact address to get this information.

Timely and comprehensive, this step-by-step guide for prospective adoptive parents, written with freelancer Shultz, distills the experience and expertise of Sullivan, an adoption lawyer who is also a cofounder of several full-service adoption agencies. A variety of options, such as independent adoption and adoption of foreign children, are explored in light of the increasing complexity in adoption practices as well as the reality that there are "fewer healthy babies available than ever before." It is a search, often lengthy, expensive and frustrating, of paramount importance to the more than two million Americans eager to adopt. The wealth of information in this upbeat primer includes self-assessments, state directories and advice regarding recent developments in adoptees' rights.
