AdoptionAgencyReviews.com – This adoption agency review website is the number one adoption review resource, where members of the adoption community can post their experiences and opinions on adoption agencies as well as rate adoption agencies or adoption attorneys on a variety of dimensions. You can also compare agencies and the results are displayed in a fun graphical format for easy comparison. In addition, new members of the adoption community can use the site to search through the reviews and ratings to determine which adoption agency is right for them.

AdoptingFromRussia.com – This website is another good resource for finding reviews. As you can tell from the name, it is limited to those agencies where the child’s adoptive country is Russia. Once you are at this website if you scroll down towards the bottom of the page you will see a link for “Agency Information.” It is there that you will see a text representation of the rating system this site uses. They use somewhat archaic method of displaying the ratings graphs with asterisks, but here is still valuable information to be found there.

Yahoo Groups: Adoption Agency Research – This Yahoo group is has a lot of information regarding adoption agency research, but you must have a yahoo account (which is free) and then because the group is moderated you must apply to be a member of this group. Once your membership to the group is approved you will find many useful databases the members have contributed to as well as get your questions answered by the other members of the group.

AdoptAChild.org – While the main part of this site is still active, the Inter-Country Adoption Registry which contained the reviews of the adoption agencies has been removed. However with a little effort you can still access these listings. The archives of the website are stored at archive.org, and there you can type archive.org into the “wayback machine” and see how the website looked years ago. Click on a date in the past and it will bring up the website as it appeared on that date. You will want to scroll down towards the bottom and select the Inter-Country Adoption Registry. The data is years old and limited to only International Adoptions, but the data can still be useful.

TheAdoptionGuide.com – This was an award winning site to use as a resource to help avoid adoption fraud and read some experiences people have had with various adoption workers. Although the domain for this site was sold to Adoptive Families magazine after it was shut down, if you use the Wayback Machine for this site also, you can access old version of this site and still make limited use of this resource.

Adoption as a Ministry, Adoption as a Blessing $13.99 “”Abba, Father ” Of all the pictures the Lord uses to describe His relationship with believers, that of a loving father to adopted children is perhaps the most tender.

Exploring what Scripture says about adoption and the value of children, Michelle Gardner demonstrates that adoption can be God’s first choice for some lives. Weaving her own children’s heartwarming adoption stories throughout the book, Michelle presents a new challenge for believers to do something drastic for a child. Adoption as a Ministry, Adoption as a Blessing explores: – what the Bible says about ministering to children in need of families – how the church can minister to adoptive families – whether it is right to spend a great deal of money on one child’s adoption – whether domestic or international adoptions are more worthy – the blessings of adoption If you are touched by adoption in any way, this book will give you a new perspective on the Biblical significance of this unique relationship. Michelle Gardner, the Director of Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries, is a graduate of Multnomah Bible College. She and her husband Steve were missionaries with CBInternational for several years.

Adoption Is for a Lifetime $14.99 “Nancy was Canada’s first foreign adoptee. She shares her fascinating story of how God orchestrated her adoption from Hong Kong, blessed her with wonderful parents, a loving husband, and in His faithfulness and healing presence, brought them through every struggle, especially the loss of their first daughter, Rebecca Joy. Despite the grief, Nancy shares how God turned their pain into joy and sorrow into victory. From what may have seemed like a tragedy to most, Nancy and her husband, Paul, now see how God used this great trial to prepare their hearts for the adoption of Joylin (5), their first precious daughter and their second, Saralin (1). Take a journey with Nancy, as she testifies of the abiding presence of our heavenly Father’s heart for adoption. Nancy (Lai Kwan Chiu) was born in Hong Kong. At 3 years of age, she was adopted by Chinese parents and became Canada’s first foreign adoptee. She lived with her parents and adopted brother, Gerry, in Montreal until she was 13, after which her family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and eventually pursued a career in computer programming. Nancy, her husband, Paul, and adopted Chinese daughters, Joylin (5) and Sarlin (1) now live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she works as a computer programmer/systems analyst.

The Open Adoption Book: A Guide to Adoption Without Tears $13.95 “Updated for a New Paperback Edition, the Definitive Guide to Open Adoption, by the founder of the Open Adoption Movement The exploding popularity of open adoption today underscores what adopting parents, birthparents, and many adoption experts now maintain: Open adoption is the healthiest, most humane, and fastest method available. It’s better for the birthmother, because she (not lawyers or social workers) decides the future of her child. It’s better for children, because they’re raised without the shroud of secrecy and stigma that accompanies most closed adoptions. And it’s better for adopting parents, because it dramatically shortens the time it takes to obtain a baby, from an average of seven years to under one year. As director of one of the country’s leading open adoption agencies and founder of the first nationwide network of open adoption organizations, Bruce Rappaport has facilitated thousands of successful open adoptions and acquired an intimate understanding of the most common and heartfelt concerns of parents seeking to adopt a baby. Interweaving personal stories and real-life experiences of adopting parents, birthparents, and adopted children, he answers the questions clients most frequently ask:> * What is an open adoption? How does it differ from traditional adoption?> * Will I ever feel like a real parent if my child’s biological mother knows I’m raising her child? Will she interfere?> * What if the birthmother changes her mind after the adoption?> * How long will it take to get a child?> Documenting answers with extensive personal experience and research, Dr. Rappaport paints a reassuring yet realistic picture of the open adoption process. The result is a highly informative, deeply moving book that will help many people realize the greatest joy life can offer.”

Relative Values $99.95 The essays in Relative Values draw on new work in anthropology, science studies, gender theory, critical race studies, and postmodernism to offer a radical revisioning of kinship and kinship theory. Through a combination of vivid case studies and trenchant theoretical essays, the contributors — a group of internationally recognized scholars — examine both the history of kinship theory and its future, at once raising questions that have long occupied a central place within the discipline of anthropology and moving beyond them.Ideas about kinship are vital not only to understanding but also to forming many of the practices and innovations of contemporary society. How do the cultural logics of contemporary biopolitics, commodification, and globalization intersect with kinship practices and theories? In what ways do kinship analogies inform scientific and clinical practices; and what happens to kinship when it is created in such unfamiliar sites as biogenetic labs, new reproductive technology clinics, and the computers of artificial life scientists? How does kinship constitute — and get constituted by — the relations of power that draw lines of hierarchy and equality, exclusion and inclusion, ambivalence and violence? The contributors assess the implications for kinship of such phenomena as blood transfusions, adoption across national borders, genetic support groups, photography, and the new reproductive technologies while ranging from rural China to mid-century Africa to contemporary Norway and the United States. Addressing these and other timely issues, Relative Values injects new life into one of anthropology’s most important disciplinary traditions.

Tools for Environment Management $212.08 Amid the growing commitment to the environment by corporations and governments there is also a frustration with their lack of progress, as highlighted by international protests in Seattle, Genoa, and elsewhere. While the principles and environmental goals we must reach are well understood, if we are to move toward sustainable development, then corporations and governments will need a coherent set of tools with which to manage the behavior of humans and their institutions more effectively. Tools for Environmental Management answers this need by providing, for the first time, an overview of Environmental Management Systems as a whole, and a set of 22 environmental management tools that can be applied on local, national and international scales. The linked set of tools includes: Environmental policies, audits, indicators, and site assessments Accounting practices and economic instruments Life cycle, product, and technology assessment Purchasing guidelines and economic instruments Risk and ecological management.Each tool is described in terms of its definition, history, legal requirements or standards, and how it is applied.
