Category: Encyclopedia
Over the past 60 years, adoption has changed more than it did over the thousands of years between the first recorded accounts of adoptions in ancient times and the mid-20th century. From the days of routine closed adoption to the growing instances of open adoption, from catch-all terms to changes in language that have grown out of a respect for the position of each member of the adoption community, we find ourselves in a constantly evolving system of practices, procedures, and relationships. This encyclopedia is here to help keep you up-to-date on concepts and practices related to the world of adoption.

Category:Glossary
