Requests:  0 Summary:  "Written by the director of an adoption agency and the author of The Children Money Can Buy, The Baby Market illustrates the dramatic changes that have taken place in infant adoption over the past two decades, resulting in what feels like a wild west of adoption in which money is the might that makes right and the law is very hard to find. The book follows the true stories of women who choose adoption for their babies, some of them making this choice multiple times. There are also stories from adoptive parents who relate their experiences with scams, disappointments, emotional and financial exploitation, and the dubious "assistance" of baby brokers. The process of adopting a baby involves struggle, uncertainty, and even heartache but, for many people, somehow manages to end happily when birth and adoptive parents create connections that respectfully and even joyfully meet their need for one another. The Baby Market provides welcome encouragement and much needed information about how to avoid the numerous pitfalls inherent in adoption and offers suggestions for the reform of a corrupted adoption system." -- from Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 362.73409 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73409 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.73409 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
