Review
"Illuminating? Infuriating? It depends on your perspective when you open the book. Mark Montgomery and Irene Powell bring their experience as economists and adoptive parents to a subject where views have become both polarized and petrified. An informed, novel, and provocative contribution to the debate on international adoption, a subject desperately in need of new insights."—Dana E. Johnson, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota"This book takes a refreshingly candid and original look at issues in international adoption. With courage and insight, the authors apply the disciplinary lens of economics to examine the regulation of international adoption and the unintended consequences of that regulation for vulnerable children and families. Required reading for those who seek novel perspectives advocating for every child's fundamental right to a family."—Rebecca Compton, Professor of Psychology, Haverford College, and author of Adoption Beyond Borders: How International Adoption Benefits Children

This book is full of information necessary to understand where International Adoption is today. It's well researched and mapped out. However the main purpose of the book is to explain their theory on paying birth parents during the adoption process.This seems backwards to me, the current system of International Adoption is already incredibly corrupt due to monetary greed and, knowing that, they still want to put more money into it? We already have birth mothers, countries and organizations selling children solely for monetary gain. I agree these countries and families may need help but is encouraging them to sell their children really the answer? No child should ever be attached to a price tag. Is it so inconceivable to propose we get rid of monetary compensation all together? (I would actually really like someone to answer this question.)Four stars for the information, minus a star for promoting the selling of human beings.
this book blends the two well. I heard the authors speak at a recent adoptive families conference and bought the book out of curiosity. I must say they present their theory well in this engaging and accessible book. The book isn't dry and technical; the authors add enough real life examples to make it readable for the layperson. The authors speak from the heart as well as the head. This is a good read for anyone open to the idea of a different way to improve the life of kids AND the two sets of parents.
Definitely pro-international Adoption, yet surprisingly balanced. Also, very readable and not too academic for what seems to be a well-researched book. They propose something that seems audacious to solve the main problems in international adoption, but they’ve pretty much convinced me by the end. What’s weird is that what seems unthinkable for worldwide adoption of kids, is what is the norm in the US and accepted. That is, open adoption and some payment of birth moms allowed, though not encouraged. Pretty cool.
I had the pleasure of hearing Mark and Irene speak at a recent conference. Their presentation style is very similar to the style of their book- engaging, down to earth, a bit humorous, and backed by lots of data.As I listened to their presentation I found myself intrigued by their proposal, but not convinced. After reading their book on the subject I am still not sure I'm convinced that their idea would work, but it sure seems like it's worth a try. They definitely make a good case for their argument and I can see a point where I would come around to their way of thinking, especially if their method has some initial success. Their book definitely made clear that what's happening now is not working, and is preventing children who need homes and families who want children from coming together, for merely political reasons. I also enjoyed the stories about Isata that were interspersed through the book.I recommend this book to anyone interested in international adoption, and especially for those who have or who are considering adopting a child from overseas.
Evidence based and very thorough. An interesting read.
