The first book-length study of adoption in Japan, this impressive
work tackles the innovative and sometimes controversial subject of
the policies of adoption agencies in Japan. The book places special
adoption in the context of a liberal reformist agenda that has
challenged traditional concepts of the family through the efforts
to place children with difficult family backgrounds, including
mixed and minority ethnic backgrounds. Drawing on empirical source
material gathered since the late 1980s, the authors consider the
central policy issue of whether agencies should be given a free
hand to create their own policies, or whether they should be more
tightly regulated. Finally, the book analyzes how different agency
strategies for finding homes for hard to place children are related
to different assumptions about the psychology and reasoning of
prospective parents. Adoption in Japan makes a significant
contribution to the academic literature in the fields of Japanese
studies, public policy, social work and sociology. It will also be
of interest to professionals involved in adoption agencies,
specialist social work and adoption panels.
