Adoption for Singles 2008-2009 was written to walk single men and women through the process of adoption, whether domestic -- private adoption of newborns, or children in foster care -- or international. Read about what it takes emotionally and psychologically, what it costs, how to decide what age child is best for you, how to start, and how to prepare your life and home for a child. Read Q&As of single adoptive parents, an adoption social worker, the founder of an adoption clinic, and the Executive Director of The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Included is a 100+ page Appendix of all of the countries tracked by the U.S. Department of State and their policies on adopting to American singles. Also included are web links to dozens of resources, including an agency directory prescreened for a willingness to work with singles, and forms to help with the process.
