More About This Book

Overview

Adopting a child can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, yet complex policies, legal risks, and fewer available children make adopting domestically a difficult choice.

International adoption offers a solution.

American parents are now adopting over 6000 children a year from China and Korea, making those countries a popular foreign option. John Maclean's The Chinese Adoption Handbook is the only nuts and bolts "how to" handbook that teaches you what you need to know to adopt a child from China and Korea.

From the pitfalls to the practical, the rewards to the risks, The Chinese Adoption Handbook guides you through it all:
How the international adoption process works How to start the process What you need to know before you go Making the most out of your time in China: the inside scoop on customs, hotels, food and shopping The children's homes, the US Consulate visit, and all the questions you'd never think to ask Medical issues, special adoption doctors, and travel requirements Post adoption procedures and much, much more
A must read for anyone thinking of adopting a child from abroad. Practical, accurate, and written with a father's sense of humor, The Chinese Adoption Handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to adoption from China and Korea.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Attorney Maclean provides all the information needed to adopt a child successfully from China, Korea, or the former Soviet Union. In China and Korea, he discusses trends in international adoption and the peculiarities of adopting from those countries; he also supplies copies of relevant forms while cautioning prospective adopters about roadblocks. His advice on navigating the bureaucracies of the United States, China, and Korea is invaluable; readers can take a breather with his wonderful summaries of Russian culture. Other chapters offer practical travel tips (e.g., places to stay and items to purchase for the child) and information for assessing a child's health. In Russia, Maclean (who adopted two children from that country) focuses on the "paper chase"i.e., negotiating the bureaucratic nightmares here and abroad. Especially valuable is his coverage of relevant forms and procedures. As in the other book, Maclean serves up smart travel tips, and information on agencies, medical conditions, post-adoption issues, and paperwork abounds. While Maclean concentrates on Russian adoption, he does cover the other countries enumerated in the subtitle. Recommended for large public libraries with adoption collections including books like Irina Mikhailovna O'Rear's Adopting in Russia: Your Rights and the Law. China and Korea is recommended for large public libraries holding books like Jean Nelson Erichsen and Heino R. Erichsen's How To Adopt Internationally: A Guide for Agency-Directed and Independent Adoptions. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
