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

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