Review by Allison Martin

The Complete Book of International Adoption by Dawn Davenport is a exceptional guide to the international adoption process. Well researched and easy to read, this indepth guide provides an excellent overview of many aspects of international adoption - in a manner that eases the decision making and paperwork process. This authoritative book carries you from the point of deciding to adoption internationally, through the process of choosing a country and selecting an agency (or facilitator), to meeting your child and your re-entry home. The uppbeat vignettes and personal adoption stories which accompany each section are especially enjoyable. Detailed information on the adoption process include an extensive list of questions to ask your agency, help on organizaing the paperchase, a basic medical overview, explanation of the pre- and post- federal adoption requirements, plus a great list of things to do while waiting. The country by country index provides a helpful comparison and with plenty of information for further research into the country of your choice. This book also provides well founded preparation for the time when you meet your child and your early days at home. Highly recommended; this is a great resource for international adoption, providing encouraging guidance and detailed procedures for the complete international adoption process.
