MacDonald distinctively connects adoption to wider sociological theories of relatedness and personal life, and focuses on domestic non-kin adoption of children from state care, including compulsory adoption. The book also addresses current child welfare concerns, and suggestions are made for adoption practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in adoption, social work, child welfare, foster care, family and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandi MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137576448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137576446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Mandi MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47423861326079,"sku":"9781137576446","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d94d6af2-2642-4b70-9601-f347a432d924.jpg?v=1761528961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parenthood-and-open-adoption-mandi-macdonald-9781137576446","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
