This is an outstanding and unique adoption resource for adoptive families, practitioners, educators and others who are seeking to better comprehend the multiple types of adoptions and factors that impact the openness experiences of a diverse sample of adoptive parents and children. The author includes amazing case examples from a 10 year longitudinal research study of the life journeys of 132 lesbian, gay, and heterosexual adoptive parents. What a great
contribution to the adoption knowledge base!"- Ruth G. McRoy, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Donahue and DiFelice Endowed Professor, Boston College School of Social Work
