Suggested Reading

 

If you are thinking about becoming an adoptive parent it is a good idea to do some reading about the subject.

 

There is a great deal of information available on the internet. As with any subject the quality of the online information is very variable and much of it may not be relevant to adoption in the UK. It is best to rely on information from trusted sources such as BAAF and Adoption UK.

 

If you prefer to get your information from books then there are suggestions on the National Adoption Week website produced by BAAF

These and other books can be ordered online from BAAF.

 

The government have also produced a number of booklets about different aspects of adoption, which can be downloaded from the following website:
