Touring the Interwebs: Reviews are in for “Adoption Nation”

POSTED BY stephanie ON April 8, 2011

This week, we’re celebrating the launch of Adam Pertman’s revised classic Adoption Nation: How the Adoption Revolution is Transforming Our Families – and America (Harvard Common Press, April 4, 2011).

If you aren’t already familiar with the author, Adam Pertman is considered one of the most influential experts in his field.

Inspired by his Pulitzer-nominated series while a reporter with the Boston Globe, the first edition of Adoption Nation (published in 2000) captured an important piece of U.S. history and was a game-changer for child welfare professionals, policy-makers, and members of what he calls “the extended family of adoption” — adopted individuals, birth and adoptive relatives.

The new, fully revised edition updates the “adoption revolution” with all of its joys and disappointments, its personal and policy issues, its complexities and controversies.

Adam, an adoptive father of two, currently serves as the Executive Director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, the pre-eminent research and education organization in the field of adoption. He has been a guest on many programs, including “Oprah,” “Today Show,” “The CBS Early Show,” “The View,” “Nightline,” “Dateline,” and “All Things Considered.”
