Politics of Adoption - new book

FYI - the 2nd edition of the book, "The Politics of Adoption: International Perspectives on Law, Policy and Practice", by Kerry O'Halloran, published by Springer in 2009. ISBN: 9781402091513 Here's the overview from my local library: "The Politics of Adoption identifies and analyses the fundamental social and legal functions of adoption. It is a timely publication as across the world adoption law reform is now giving rise to contentious issues." I skimmed through the intro and conclusion and the book looks very comprehensive. The book also provides comparative analysis of adoption in several countries, eg. Japan, China, UK, USA, Sweden, etc; It's also available online as an e-book via the following eISBN number: 9781402091520
