Der Autor, Familien- und Vormundschaftsrichter, gibt ausführlich Auskunft über die inhaltlichen, persönlichen und rechtlichen Voraussetzungen einer Adoption und deren Rechtsfolgen. Eigene Abschnitte informieren über die Annahme eines ausländischen Kindes, machen mit dem Verfahren der Adoptionsvermittlung und den besonderen Regelungen der Annahme Volljähriger bekannt. Die laienverständliche Darstellung des stellenweise schwierigen Themas ist reihenüblich mit vielen Beispielen und Tipps versehen, zusätzlich auch nützlichen Adressen. (1) (id-Rez. der 1.

A cultural comparison of Western society adoption practices to those Eastern Oceania explores the stigmas attached to inheritance and adoption laws to argue that the lessening stigma of adoption helps people to embrace the "other." A brief history of Western patrilineal society adoption practices traces the stigma is of inheritance rights, the child welfare orientation distinguished from the matrilineal, clan & sibling group priority of Eastern Oceanic adoption practices. The changes in Western attitude towards adoption still suffers the legacy of the stigma of the legitimacy as exemplified in the conflicted over opening adoption records, & is supported by the analysis of surveys on adult adoptees opinions about open adoption which indicate a release of emotional baggage and guilt. The current state of adoption in the US is characterized as making it harder for black families to adopt, leaving black children in foster care, despite the advances by the adoption & safe families act of 1997. Assessment of the current state of international adoption indicates a rise in the last two decades, the standards set by the Hague convention, sexual politics between countries, & open international adoption. The lessening of the stigma of adoption is concluded to help put aside the idealization of the biological nuclear family, biological reproduction, & ethnic purity to pave the way for an ideal society are children could choose whom they want to live with.

Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Anerkennung von im Ausland erfolgten Adoptionen sowie der Vermittlung ausländischer Kinder ins Inland stehen heute im Focus.
