Title: How to Adopt Internationally: A Guide for Agency-Directed and Independent Adoptions, Revised and Updated Edition for 2003 by Jean Nelson Erichsen, Heino R. Erichsen ISBN: 0-940352-15-X Publisher: Mesa House Pub Pub. Date: 03 January, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $22.50 |

Summary: Very Pactical and Very Helpful
Comment: While I agree with the reviewer who said that it's impossible to publish a book that can keep up with every change in international adoption, that's certainly not a reason to give up attempting to bring people a reasonably up-to-date resource. I applaud the Erichsens for commiting to a new edition every other year. It was definitely the most up-to-date resource I could find.
As a recent adoptive parent, I found the book to be by far the most useful resource in terms of understanding the process of international adoption, helping with the forms and documents I had to collect, understanding how to estimate expenses (and helping me to compare the confusing pricing terms of various adoption agencies), selecting a reputable agency, understanding how the immigration process worked, and choosing a country that was the best fit for me.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone considering adopting internationally.

Summary: the "Bible" for International Adoptions
Comment: This book was my "bible" as I prepared to adopt internationally. It guided me through the very detailed, step-by-step process. From finding an agency, initial paperwork, finances, social worker visits, the actual trip and first amazing meeting with your child, to issues once back - such as potential health problems, cultural issues, readopting and adjusting to life as a new family. Sample forms and documents were extremely valuable. I found this more current than other sources available. Also addressed adopting as a single-parent, which was encouraging! I had the opportunity to hear the authors speak in person, and was impressed not only with their first hand experience in adopting and raising their own children, but with their keen knowledge of international politics, and their passion and commitment to guiding others to build their family through foreign adoption. They have a wealth of experience running their own adoption agency, and clearly remain on the cutting edge when it comes to the most current information regarding international adoption. (I now have a beautiful, happy, healthy daughter whom I adopted from China.) This book is a must read for anyone considering the complicated (but ultimately wonderful) experience of adopting a child from a foreign country!

Summary: Outstanding guide for anyone considering intl. adoption
Comment: Ms. Erichsen's updated version of How To Adopt Internationally is even better than her first version. She accurately clarifies the steps in a process that can be challenging and lengthy. She provides necessary and detailed information and answers the questions any adoptive parent needs to know. Ms. Erichsen's expertise in the field is quite apparent. The book is extremely well written, thoughtful and an absolute must read for anyone who is thinking about adopting internationally or who is in the process.
