This volume, the third in a series developed by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, considers how adoption practice and policy impact those who are the “clients” of adoption services–adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. It explores the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of adoption for all members of the triad, and assesses the extent to which current policy and practice meet the needs of those whom adoption is designed to serve. The current understanding of the positive and negative effects of adoption on all parties is related to the ethical obligation of adoption professionals.
