The impact of adoption on members of the triad Book

This series on adoption and ethics was developed by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and designed to provide an overview of the current knowledge base on key adoption policy and practice issues.How do adoption practice and policy impact those who are the clients of adoption services -- adopted individuals, birthparents, prospective adoptive parents, and adoptive parents'. This volume explores the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of adoption for all members of the triad and assesses the extent to which current policy and practice meet the needs of those whom adoption is designed to serve. The current understanding of the positive and negative effects of adoption on all parties is related to the ethical obligation of adoption professionals.
