The Chinese Adoption Handbook : How to Adopt from China and Korea

Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: I really liked this book on Chinese adoptions.The other books are all written from a personal journey point of view and do not have specific information in them. I just wanted something that told me what to expect and how it all works and this book did that.The sections on Guangzhou and White Swan were exactly right.

I think the other reviewer might be talking about an older version as the one I read was the 2004 book.

Summary: A helpful book, but not worth the money
Review: This book has a lot of information, but most of it can be found easily through your agency or through the "Familys with Children from China" website. The book has a lot of great website addresses.

The main issue with this book is that it is very poorly written. With all of the things adoptive parents need to sift through in this process, we certainly do not need to decipher bad grammar, typos, etc. On one page, the author talks about going to Moscow to pick up your child--clearly this was just a cut/paste from the "Adopting from Russia" book he wrote, and no one bothered to proof his work.
