Many questions concerning adoption are discussed by the authors after many years of keeping in close touch with adoptive parents, child-placing agencies, social workers, and all the professions interested in the physical, psychological, and legal aspects of adoption. Adoptive parents themselves, they see inside the adopter's mind and present him with facts, suggesting definite steps on how to achieve happy adoptive family life.
