| Review | "A uniquely interdisciplinary book, The Morality of Adoption features Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant contributors examining shifting societal attitudes toward adoption and wrestling with such concrete issues as the psychology of family ties, the advisability of cross-cultural adoption, the morality of single-parent adoption, and the new territory of embryo adoptions." "While this volume does not resolve every disagreement or uncertainty, it will surely help spur citizens and scholars toward informed moral action with respect to adoption."--Jacket. |
