Reviews

This well-researched volume is an important corrective to the dominance of adoption as a solution for children in need in some policy circles. As a book-length analysis of adoption in the context of both domestic and international human rights law, Davey's monograph is very valuable. -- Brian Sloan * Cambridge Law Journal *
