“This book will definitely be of interest to those adoption professionals from within the disciplines of law, politics, and social work. … It is also an insightful historical account of adoption policies, laws, international conventions, and local practices from around the world. … O’Halloran’s third edition of The Politics of Adoption is a literary mosaic of essential adoption-related discussion that belongs on the bookshelves of every adoption researcher—no matter the research or professional discipline.” (Rhoda Scherman and Ashleigh Prakash, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (20), May, 2016)
