Rating:  - EXCELLENT reference!
We read this again and again when we have questions - give information state-by-state! Good job, Randall!
Rating:  - Straight-forward Information
This book, despite its unfortunate cover art and title, is full of valuable information written in straight-forward manner. It is unburdened by emotion and agenda found in many adoption books -- Hicks takes no sides and displays no politic. Although he doesn't present his material alongside weighty psychological information, "Adoption in America" is not detached nor condescending. It's the facts, well-written and well-organized. It's got a wonderful state-by-state list of agencies and attorneys ... Read More
Rating: - This is a great book!
This is one of four how-to adoption books my husband and I bought in our plan to start an adoption. It was BY FAR the best.

He bluntly says what others seem to hesitate to do. He is an adoption attorney ... Read More
Rating:  - What a let Down
As soon as I read this book, I wished I was the type of customer who sent back books of little value.

The chapter containing the laws of every state was concise and puts it all in one easy package ... Read More
Rating: - A proud Daddy- Thanks to this book!
Randall Hicks book is written in an informative way- but maintains a warmth towards the many emotions involved in adoption. I used this book as a guide for our own adoption and it helped me through many of the issues- from the beginning decisions surrounding the type of adoption process we wanted- through the final court date. The legal advice is accurate, but the advice surrounding the emotions on both sides of adoption is invaluable.
