Summary: An objective resource for the prospective adoptive parents.
Comment: I get dizzy just thinking about the amount of work that went into this resource! I like the fact that the author not only leads one through the myriad of steps toward adoption, but that she is also devoting chapters on parenting issues after the child comes home, and some important longer-term issues about raising an adoptive family. We adopted our daughter in 1969 and received neither pre- nor post-adoptive advice or help. I'm surprised we got through it all and that everything turned out well for us and our daughter. I am especially pleased that the author cautions adoptive parents not to tell their child that the birthmother gave him up because she loved him so much. I never told our daughter this either but rather the plain fact that there was no dad and the birthmother had no way of raising any child at this time of her life. Thank you, Lois, for your wonderful book.

Summary: The Adoption Resource Book by Lois Gilman
Comment: We found this book to be the most comprehensive and informative book we read in preparing to adopt. We felt very prepared for all the paperwork, were able to ask questions we would not likely have even thought of on our own, and were able to make informed choices throughout the process. It is well written and speaks to the reader in a very clear manner. We no longer own our copy, as we have passed it on to a friend who is adopting. We would recommend this to everyone considering adoption. Adoption can be very confusing and stressful. This book armed us with the kind of information we needed to be prepared.

Summary: An intelligent & captivating guide
Comment: My husband and I found this a highly informative reference book that also has soul. In contrast, I found the Idiot's Guide to be insulting in its simplicity. To accompany this and other references, I recommend reading first-hand accounts of adoption, which focus on the emotional side. For example, in East Meets West, a father's story of going to China to meet and bring home his daughter, brought tears to my eyes--a wonderful reminder of why we want to head down this path.
