Today in the United States there is a lack of consensus about
what constitutes ethical practice in adoption. Although ethics in
adoption is a hot topic, adoption specialists and professionals are
unsure about how to serve the best interests of children who need
to be adopted and how birth parents, adoptive parents, and adult
adoptees ought to be served. This failure to identify and
prioritize ethical standards in adoption has resulted in a lack of
ethical decision-making and inadequate--and sometimes
fraudulent--treatment of those seeking adoption-related
services.
Destined to be seminal in the fields of ethics and adoption,
this books offers numerous case studies describing what is wrong
with America's adoption system, illustrating what the lack of
applied ethical standards in adoption does to adoptees and those
who love them, and raising many questions about what adoption
facilitators are doing, who is accountable for what they are doing,
and whose interests they are serving.
