Title: Incredibly Outdated Resource
Review: Seriously - this book was written in 1978 & while I'm sure that it was a progressive resource at the time, it is unbelievably outdated. The book assumes that the only people looking to adopt a child are heterosexual, married couples (true enough 30 years ago) & devotes a lot of time to discussing how to manage adoption expectations and issues with your spouse. I can't say that it doesn't still have useful insights, but as a single woman looking to adopt, I found it extremely frustrating. For an up-to-date incredibly useful resource, I recommend Attaching in Adoption by Deborah Gray.
