- Title
The Routledge Handbook of Adoption.
- Authors

- Abstract
"The Routledge Handbook of Adoption" is a comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic handbook on adoption. It covers a wide range of topics related to adoption, including statistics, LGBTQ parents, adoptees with disabilities, and clinical practice. However, the handbook has a narrower scope than expected, as it largely focuses on psychology, social work, and applied health, and is predominantly US-centric. It also lacks diverse perspectives from global scholars and does not adequately address custom adoption practices or the adoption and care of Indigenous children. Overall, while the handbook makes important contributions to the literature, it falls short in representing a diversity of perspectives on adoption.
