From the Author
clarification of reviewer's comments
although Dr. Brodzinsky's book was published in 1992, Dr. Pavao studied with Erik Erikson at Harvard in mid 1980's and wrote an article on developmental stages and challenges at that time. Dr. Brodzinsky attended some of Dr. Pavao's early lectures on the subject. Dr. Brodzinsky is an excellent researcher and has a wonderful collections of writings on adoption. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've been waiting for this book., 3 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Family of Adoption (Hardcover)
I've been waiting for this book because I attended a workshop by Dr. Pavao several years ago and thought she had very good insights. I would recommend this book to couples choosing adoption because it opens the door to thinking about the feelings they may have as they become parents. I also liked the emphasis on the idea that adoption is to provide for children. This can't be said often enough. I also liked the distinction between privacy and secrecy. Adoption can't be cut and dried; it's a complex situation and a potentially rich emotional experience for those involved. Thanks for a good read.
