Adoption and Ethics: The Market Forces in Adoption

By Madelyn Freundlich

This series on adoption and ethics was developed by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and designed to provide an overview of the current knowledge base on key adoption policy and practice issues.The role of money and the possession of power in the context of adoption, and the extent of accountability have become critical questions in adoption policy and practice today. These issues arise in three arenas: the adoption of infants in the United States, the adoption of children in foster care, and international adoption. This volume considers each type of adoption in relation to market forces and the role of marketing in adoption both by prospective adoptive parents and adoption professionals.
