Book excerpt: For many Africans, Asians and Caribbeans, extended family has traditionally been a part of the norm. Most black adoptive parents state that some form of adoption or fostering was a tradition in their communities so the experience of fitting into a new family mean that the concept of adoption is not alien to them. What is difficult or off-putting for many is getting through the assessment process and dealing with the intrusive investigations involved. This volume is designed to demystify the process and show that potential adopters can choose an agency that suits them.
