As prospective parents go through the adoption process, they balance anxiety and fear with the crucial decision to adopt. The emotional burden of this process can be completely overwhelming and confusing for parents as they try to make decisions about expanding their family. Based on extensive research and the author's personal experience as an adoptee, the book What to Expect When You’re Adopting... does not overlook the realities of the adoption process, but guides parents through the many stages and emotional aspects involved, offering practical and sensitive advice that allows you to:

• Make critical decisions with confidence
• Build a strong foundation for your family
• Separate the myths about adopted children from the realities
• Discover the key to a healthy connection with your child

Dr. Ian Palmer will also highlight issues such as single-parent adoption, infertility, and, unusually, the choice to remain child-free.
