Review

'The Research Handbook on Adoption Law sheds light on adoption from many different relevant angles, highlighting both positive and negative aspects of the adoption institution and providing relevant knowledge for students, researchers, and practitioners working with adoption, regardless of their profession. The authors present interesting critical reflections on both national and intercountry adoption – and perhaps most importantly – contributions to the discussion about the future of adoption." -- Anne Mørk, International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family
