Adopting a child in Scotland - Robert Swift

Aimed at anyone who has ever considered building their family through adoption, this practical guide - the first of its kind for Scotland - provides all of the essential information about adopting a child. It explores: the kinds of children who need new families; what sort of people adoption agencies are looking for and why; how to go about it; how children and families are matched and brought together; what happens after adoption and the support available. Written by an adoptive parent, this book is essential reading.
