Description

This compassionate book brings together for the first time issues about infertility and adoption.

Fifteen to 20 of all married couples in the United States are infertile, and most people have intense psychological and emotional reactions to the experience of infertility.

Infertility and Adoption provides a clear understanding of the historical and social context of infertility, its emotional impact, and the process of coping with infertility.

A prototype for conducting psychosocial assessments with infertile couples is provided.

Practitioners, researchers, and administrators will learn about the latest trends in preparing adoptive parents for the arrival of their child.

The multidisciplinary appeal of this book will reach professionals in social work and mental health and better prepare all of those who work with the growing number of individuals touched by infertility.
