Sherry and Lee are the experts in the area of single parent adoption. They have studied the issue intensely, listened to both adoptees and parents, and most importantly they have lived it. This is an important book for all those impacted by single parent adoption. --Betsy Burch, Founder & Former Dir. of S.P.A.C.E. (Single Parent Adoption of Children Everywhere) "Whether you are a single parent who has adopted or is contemplating adopting, Single Adoptive Parents: Our Stories, is a wonderful resource. Single parents, in their own words, discuss their decision to adopt, and share the joys and the challenges of parenting." --Jane Mattes, LCSW. Director, Single Mothers by Choice "Single Adoptive Parents: Our Stories, is compelling and insightful. It fills a niche and a need for the people whom the title describes (as well as anyone connected to them), to be sure, but I also recommend this important book to anyone who cares about family issues - or simply wants to better understand the changing world around them." --Adam Pertman, Executive Director, Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute "Lee Varon and Sherry Fine have been helping the world of adoption for years with their books and videotapes about the joys and challenges of single parenthood in adoption. "Most of the two-parent families that we see have enough challenges and require a repertoire of skills in order to parent children who have suffered loss, trauma and neglect, but for a single parent the need for multitasking and a strong support network is even more of a requirement. "Sherry and Lee are part of that support network, and I rarely see a single parent adoptive family that I don't recommend their books and tapes to! This newest book is another major resource." --Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao, CEO and Founder, Center For Family Connections

These new family constellations involve the following four separate groups: single biological mothers; single adoptive mothers or fathers (including those who have adopted older children as well as infants); divorced parents (i.e., the active parent who has decided not to remarry); and gay and lesbian parents (a relatively "new" category of alternative parenting). Listening to the poignant stories of those who have chosen single parenthood, we learn about their family backgrounds and how these played a significant role in shaping the hopes and aspirations for creating their own families. We hear about their ambitions, social lives, and love relationships, and what ultimately led them to decide to take on the responsibilities of parenthood outside the bonds of marriage.

In The Intentional Father, the author chronicles the significant events in his decision to become a single adoptive parent and the adoption process. An essential and moving read containing parenting and legal advice for those who are considering becoming an adoptive parent. The central theme and heartfelt message is to never give up the dream of becoming a parent. The author's sense of humor and knowledge about the legal process and his own experiences adopting twice intertwine to make this an essential read for those who are parents, or are thinking about becoming an adoptive parent or for those who need proof that there is there is strength in compassion, lessons in adversity and power in perseverance; truly a message of hope. Excerpt from "The Intentional Father" In the initial visit with my son, I witnessed a child who was bright, smiled, yelled, stomped his feet and screamed. It was not that he could not talk, he would not talk. He had his own language, created in his mind to get his needs satisfied as a result of them not being met prior. I was told that he could only say 7 words, all in Spanish. I went to a corner on this initial visit and sat there with a book and a stuffed bear and waited. Ever so slowly, he approached me, would touch me and run away and giggle. Eventually, he sat in my lap and looked at me for a while, with his social worker, the foster mother and my adoption worker looking on he put his hand on my face and said "daddy". This was not one of the words that he knew and it was not in Spanish......so it began.

This volume reports the results of a large-scale survey of families who adopted children with special needs: older children, minority children, handicapped children, or sibling groups. In contrast to much of the current literature which focuses on adoption disruption, this study shifts the focus of inquiry to intact families. It assesses perceptions of social work services, parent-child relationships, family functioning, child behavior, school performance, and other aspects of adoptive family life. Rosenthal and Groze compare outcomes for different types of adoptions, including adoptions of children of different ages, adoptions by minority families, transracial adoptions, single-parent adoptions, adoptions by less educated and less wealthy families, adoptions by foster parents, adoptions of children with handicaps, and sibling group adoptions. The authors offer solid advice, based on their sample of 800 respondents, regarding various aspects of practice in the field of adoption, including selection of families, preparation of families and children, and useful follow-up services. Special-Needs Adoption is an invaluable tool for agencies developing adoption programs, and practitioners seeking the latest information regarding adoptive family dynamics.
