children and the families who chose to adopt them What if you were
an adopted child and someone tried to remove you from the family

judicial decisions, social welfare practices, and the availability
of American children for adoption have led to an increase in
disrupted adoptions. When Adoptions Go Wrong: Psychological and
Legal Issues of Adoption Disruption examines the psychological and
forensic aspects of adoption with an emphasis on how negative
events can affect children and the families that choose to adopt
themand how you can prevent those events from happening. When
Adoptions Go Wrong is a comprehensive resource on the causes of
interrupted adoptions, including changing profiles of adoptive
parents who have new reasons for wanting to adopt. With the help of
detailed case examples, this powerful book explores the impact of
disruptions on the children, the legal issues of determining in
whose best interests decisions are made, and possible methods of
reducing the negative affects of those decisions on the children.
