Family Bonds: Adoption, Infertility, and the New World of Child Production
by Elizabeth Bartholet (9780807028032)

In the only book to make sense of the worlds of adoption and fertility treatment, Bartholet combines moving personal narrative with compelling policy analysis. Family Bonds is newly available at a time when more children than ever are waiting to be adopted and infertility treatment is not only a growing business but also an increasingly expensive and sophisticated technology. "A jewel. . . . Recommended to anyone contemplating or involved with adoption and to any citizen concerned about the welfare of children in our society."
--Carolyn Moore Newberger, The Boston Globe "It would take a book--a very smart and sane book--to deal with these matters and come to the aid of the parties to adoption, and, on the bright side of coincidence, someone is about to publish it Family Bonds].
--The New Yorker "Anyone seeking to become a parent should both heed and take heart from Elizabeth Bartholet. Family Bonds is at once powerful testimony to the robust ties adoptive families form and an urgent plea for the rights and needs of children everywhere."
--Diane Cole, Newsday "Essential reading for policymakers, lawyers, and child welfare workers."
--Joan Hollinger, editor, Adoption Law and Practice
